Standard FLTK functions Fl_Window::icon(const Fl_RGB_Image*),
Fl_Window::default_icon(const Fl_RGB_Image*) and
Fl_Window::default_icons(const Fl_RGB_Image*[], int) have no effect on the
Wayland platform.
The equivalent of a call to Fl_Window::default_icon(const Fl_RGB_Image*) to set
the application-specific window icon can be obtained as follows, using FLTK's
editor app as an example:

<pre>[Desktop Entry]
Version=1.0
Type=Application
Name=Editor
Name[fr]=Editeur
Comment=FLTK editor
Exec=editor %%F
Icon=/path/to/icon/file/editor.svg
MimeType=text/plain
</pre>

- One or more Name[<em>locale</em>]= lines can be used to set locale-specific app names.
- The Icon= line accepts also \c .png files.
- put this file in \c /usr/local/share/applications/ so its available to all system users
