Sorry, my mistake.
Its "No application icon" option, not "Shared application icon".
I have just retested it.

I have tested it with 0.80.2, windowmaker-0.95.3 and windowmaker-0.95.4.

I have even used got bisect to find which patch changed the behavior.
So the behavior I am reporting does exist, I have just mistakenly referred
to "Shared application icon" instead of "No application icon".

You can test it yourself if you are running 0.95.3 or older.
