What was the problem exactly?
Can you try the most recent WIP? It adds an allegro_icon weak symbol to the
library to set the X11 icon. I haven't heard about problems with this yet,

If all goes well (that is, there are no further problems with my new
get_executable_filename), then we no longer even need a magic main on
*nix, and we can delete umain.c from the sourcetree.
This would be an ideal situation IMO.
