Failed to find/load application icon about howl HOT 4 CLOSED

The two above examples are actually separate. in the first one the icon file can't be found. Something to do with your installation and/or how the root dir is found. Would be great if you could add some printouts to Application._load_application_icon and have a look at where it attempts to find the file, and then we can figure out what the error is.

The second I presume has something to do with SVG support on OS X, will search around some for that one.

If I put a print in application.moon here:

    for dir in *{ @root_dir.parent, @root_dir }
      print "icon: #{dir}"
      icon = dir\join('share/icons/hicolor/scalable/apps/howl.svg')
      if icon.exists
        status, err = pcall Gtk.Window.set_default_icon_from_file, icon.path
        log.error "Failed to load application icon: #{err}" unless status
        return

It prints:

icon: /usr/local/share
icon: /usr/local/share/howl

I'm guessing either:

1. Howl should also search @root_dir.parent.parent.
2. The line icon = dir\join('share/icons/hicolor/scalable/apps/howl.svg') should be changed to icon = dir\join('icons/hicolor/scalable/apps/howl.svg').

I went for a variant of 1. 2 wouldn't work, since we want to support both running it from a globally installed version and running it directly from the checkout.
