A common bug in FOX and FXRuby applications has to do with using icons before they've been constructed. Currently, FXRuby segfaults when you do this. Would be better if a reasonable exception were thrown.

So I guess we have to catch an un-created icon being passed into a widget that we know has already been created, and create the icon for them at that point.
Date: 2007-02-09 21:27 Sender: Lyle Johnson A grep for the string "illegal icon" in the FOX source code reveals that this is an issue in just a handful of places: FXDCWindow, FXTopWindow and FXWindow. Will try just adding a call to create() in these places if we detect that icon->id() is not set.
