Well.. I have a mix of various machines.. and the vintage ThinkPads are 
still quite capable and have nicer keybards and handling than newer ones!

I just tested Ubuntu on Linux/x86 on the other ThinkPad 43 I have and it 
is fixed.
I also tested on OpenBSD/amd64 and it (continues) to work.

Of course it retains the "behaviour" of the grey Icon until launch 
completes.
Interestingly, on Ubuntu I can actually dock an app and it will retain 
the icon, on OpenBSD instead it WindowMaker will revert to generic.

If I am not mistaken, it is not a regression, it is just something I 
noticed (again) while looking at this.
Does it happen for you? Some apps start quick so you don't notice, but 
on a slower/loaded machine it is clear.
