This is a GWM bug - GWM misses the icon name change event. If
(icon-name) returns the correct icon name, then the property is set
the right way, and there's nothing more Epoch can do about it. Setting
it again will fix the problem, but it doesn't help to just set it
twice originally (because the problem stems from too many events at
once, adding more will just make it worse).
