Is there any way to change the default icon of opera in the taskbar?

It doesn't use the icon of the theme, and seems it use an ugly xpm picture. Anyway, if it doesn't have such glitch, I will not complain about it.

Placing another /usr/share/pixmaps/opera.xpm doesn't help. (I edit the xpm file and it's array name to logo3232_xpm.)

Or is there any way to do a icon map?(map the specific program to specific icon)

I'm using kde4 and smooth tasks.

Thank you for your help!

Well the .desktop file is going to tell the system what icon to use.  Do a:

pacman -Ql opera | grep "/usr/share/applications"

and you should see it.  Hmm, if you edited the icon in place it should work, but not if you changed the name.  Look in the desktop file and be sure that the one you are editing is the one you need to change.

Actually the desktop file of opera using an icon with absolute path, but opera's icon while running is not affected by the desktop file, just like eclipse or firefox(You see, if I use an icon theme that affect firefox's desktop file, but firefox will always use the icon in its installed directory named "chrome" or something else).
