Okay, this one's particularly cryptic! I'll be impressed if anyone gets it without at least one clue, but let's see how you go first.

I 'll take a first try

"Lipstick on the window pane and I've
Lost all sense of the world outside" ~NWN

You are surprisingly close! You may have worked out the first part of the puzzle, but not the second, which leads to the actual line. (However, as it's ridiculously cryptic, if no-one manages to fathom my convoluted reasoning, this should be good enough to count as a win. What led you to that answer?)

The icon on CloseAll reminded me lipstick and as a programmer/analyst the whole window was a close enough image of window pane style. Also the noicon, closeall readme was a kind of closure feel in distinct mark of the outside world. NWN was definetly first candidate for me

Right icon. I wasn't thinking of lipstick, but "close all". Close all what? The answer might suggest a literary reference, which in turn should suggest the line. (Told you it was convoluted!)

it must be then the other window pane reference in ~NWN

"Frost upon the window pane
Nine while nine and I'm waiting
For the train"
correct ?

I'm still drawing a blank for the reference -- all windows? Programs? Things even? How frustrating! (in the good way)

It's the icon for Close all Windows. Which might suggest the poem Now Close the Windows, by Robert Frost. Which could be described as a poem by, ahem, Frost upon the window pane.

You really shouldn't let me do any more of these.

You are therefore correct, sir.

Is it Finland red, Egypt White: Special ammunition, the penguin upon its construction

No it is not a Finland Red Egypt White lyric

I hear emperor penguin down?

umm... "When you don't see me"?

stufarq wrote:I hear emperor penguin down?

Nope, it actually not involves real penguins
The line that penguin says is the first hint

Jeremiah wrote:umm... "When you don't see me"?

Closer to the spirit. Hint 2 it indeed involves sight but it it s not when you don't see me

iesus wrote:Nope, it actually not involves real penguins

Oh. So not A rockhopper and a hard place then? Or Skua could be the one?

So, it's through the cables and the underground now ... ...

See the body electric flashing on the bathroom wall ... ...

No, it is not about underground
Jeremiah was closer to the spirit so far

Oh, see the storm is threatening
My very life today
If I don't get some shelter
Yeah, I'm gonna fade away

No this is not the one

Something Fast?

all the things we ever did
were always confidential
and hidden from me anyhow

And the penguins come and go
(Talk)
Talking about me like they know
(Men)
Bought and sold
And the world keeps turning

I hear you calling (King Julien)
