Applied a fix for both gui applications and command-line tools, along with some cleanup.

Attached is a small patch that will make NSWorkspace return a default image when no icon can be found for an application bundle.
It uses the common_UnknownApplication.tiff icon in the Library/Images folder of GNUstep. - I simply reused the GNUstep.tiff file for this purpose.

At <http://www.stupid-design.com/martin/GNUstep/shots/DefaultAppIcon1.jpg> and <http://www.stupid-design.com/martin/GNUstep/shots/DefaultAppIcon2.jpg> I made two screenshots, one using the GNUstep.tiff file as the icon and one using the wmaker-unknown-pov.tif which I suggested in the original post.

After taking a quick look at NSFileManger.m, I think that I might be capable of doing this myself. :-)
So I will try it myself and send a patch if I get it to work.

On OPENSTEP application bundles have a default icon when the Info.plist doesn't specify one.

On GNUstep folders with .app extension but without icon information only show the default folder icon. (This could be confusing for novice users.)

The default application icon on OPENSTEP features a screen with a question mark. For GNUstep I propose one of the following icons:

http://largo.windowmaker.org/images/icons/tifs/wmaker-unknown-pov.tif
http://largo.windowmaker.org/images/icons/tifs/wmaker-unknown-pov2.tif

Both feature a nice GNUstep logo and a question mark.
