Description Tamás Bitai 2016-09-28 13:38:36 UTC

In Gnome launcher, and probably other launchers, if I pin Konsole as favorite application, and then launch it, a duplicate item in the launcher will be present, instead of the pinned item being marked as running.

For Gnome launcher, and probably other launchers, this can be fixed by adding `StartupWMClass=konsole` to the .desktop file.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Pin Konsole as favorite in Gnome launcher.
2. Launch Konsole.


Actual Results:  
Two Konsole items will be present in the launcher.

Expected Results:  
The pinned Konsole item should be marked as running.

(I am not with or against this proposed change, but IMHO gnome-shell should find a way to associate a running process with a .desktop file other than the name of the file... looking at [1], they have had to add a workaround even for gnome default apps... just my 2 piasters :)
