Complete rewrite of the netwmicon-patch: Enables to set _NET_WM\_ICON with a png-image and display an icon for st
Generally the icon of an application is defined by its desktop-entry. The patch desktopentry serves this purpose. Unfortunately, some programs like tint2 or alttab can't make use of the desktop-entry and rely instead on a hardcoded icon which has to be defined by the application itself with the window-propery _NET_WM_ICON. Since st doesn't define _NET_WM_ICON this programs can't display the correct icon for st even if a desktop-entry exists. This patch solves this problem.

Tint2 documentation may help.

Help with formatting tasklist items - adding spacing, borders and transparency
As I understand tint2 has it's own blur mechanism. Awesome does not, all the blur is provided by picom.

tint2 panel doesn't re-appear after reconfiguring+restarting or quitting+re-running
The intersection of people using both StumpWM and the tint2 panel/taskbar is probably pretty small, so I've not a lot of hope, but here's the issue: for whatever reason tint2 will run fine the first time it's started on StumpWM, but restarting it or quitting and running it again doesn't work. If I run it from the commandline I can see that it seems to be starting normally, but it won't actually appear. Any ideas on why this might be or what a resolution/workaround might be. Currently I have to completely exit from StumpWM to get it to re-appear.
