I had the bright idea to use the svg backend to generate the minimization icon. See examples/matplotlib_icon.svg. It displays correctly on my web browser, but not when minimized. I don't know if this reflects a problem in the svg backend, or how gtk handles svg icons. If we can get this example to work, the next thing to do is connect the icon setting to the window minimize event, and set the icon to be the svg output of the current figure window! JDH
