I just tried --disable-factory and it made no difference.

I have a launcher defined with Command

gnome-terminal --title=Pine --role=Pine --enable-factory 
--hide-menubar --window-with-profile=Pine

and the Pine profile has a Profile icon defined along with Custom 
Command defined to /usr/local/bin/pine.  The checkbox is checked for 
"Run a custom command instead of my shell".

I would not be using this awkward approach if Gnome used the icon 
specified in the application launcher when the launched application is 
iconized.  Instead it uses a generic page icon.  Does latest Gnome on 
OpenSolaris work differently?
