corrupted/missing window icons in Ubuntu launcher

Description

Client version: Ubuntu 18.04.4 LTS with Unity, Xpra GTK3 X11 client version 3.0.8-r25889 64-bit

It happens quite often (once in a few times), usually when starting Eclipse IDE on server, that window icon shown in launcher is either empty or sometimes corrupted. It even happened that one application (mate-terminal) got an icon of another application, with some corrupted pixels visible. I captured it on screenshots - see attachments.

I've been able to debug it. Here is how I started the client, with a few log lines:

Using XPRA_SAVE_WINDOW_ICONS=1 I noticed that saved icons were correct, so it was not a problem with server sending invalid icons. I realized that when window title changes, the icon usually gets fixed (but not always). I saw in logs that reset_icon() is called.

I checked affected windows using xprop, to see _NET_WM_ICON. Indeed, icons were invalid. Before that I thought Unity might have a bug - I think xprop proves it is not the case.

After some time of debugging, I focused my attention on get_pixbuf_from_data() in gtk_common/gtk_util.py. It calls function GdkPixbuf.Pixbuf.new_from_data(). It seems this function is not safe to be called from python. See these bug reports:

It is recommended to use new_from_bytes() instead. So I tested the following fix:

+        log("get_pixbuf_from_data: using new_from_bytes, w=%s h=%s", w, h)
+        data = glib.Bytes(rgb_data)
+        return GdkPixbuf.Pixbuf.new_from_bytes(data, GdkPixbuf.Colorspace.RGB,
+                                         has_alpha, 8, w, h, rowstride)


     get_pixbuf_from_window = gdk.pixbuf_get_from_window

With this fix, the problem no longer appeared. Every icon is now displayed correctly.
