With 1.6.1, I noticed on my roommate's Windows PC that the launcher icon has taken the original grass block icon, and the game window now uses a crafting bench icon. With Linux, this has not been reflected.
The normal workaround is to use a .desktop file and set an icon to a process using its WM_CLASS variable, which is what I've done until the 1.6.1 launcher, but the game window that is created with the new launcher does not seem to have such a property, so it seems to be stuck with the ugly, default "?" icon in my environment.
The new crafting bench is available in the .minecraft/assets/icons directory as intended, though I don't know of a way to actually bind it to the process.
The icon for the launcher itself is fine, just not the game.

Yes, it is. I updated the version to Launcher version 1.3.1.
Thank you for reminding me, I've admittedly stopped checking up on it since I imagine it's not very high on the priority list.
Is this still a concern in the current Minecraft version 14w21b / Launcher version 1.4.4 or later? If so, please update the affected versions in order to best aid Mojang ensuring bugs are still valid in the latest releases/pre-releases.
It’s a bit complicated, the launcher loading screen (that’s just text debug info) has the JDK Duke icon, then the launcher loads ‐ current launcher 1.5 has a Minecraft icon for window and window selector; once loaded into the game proper, Minecraft application 1.7.9 has crafting bench icon for window and window selector. 14w30c is the same, crafting bench icon.
Can’t test on the other platforms, is that how it should be?
This is still the case in Ubuntu 14.04, Minecraft 1.8. Although it's not the launcher that has no icon, but the game. Should I make a new report?
