Pushed by sitter into branch 'master'.

set proper desktop file name

Summary:
if the desktop file isn't org.kde.$binname we need to set it manually so
desktops know what we are (this is imperative on wayland for icons to work)

I get the distinct feeling we should just do away with the conflicting
naming -.-

Comment 9 Patrick Silva 2017-12-02 22:07:24 UTC 
This report is about Gnome Wayland, not kde plasma wayland.
Same bug affected k3b and kolourpaint

Comment 10 Harald Sitter 2017-12-02 22:12:26 UTC 
Yep. Tell gnome to fix their shit. As seen on wayland what we have works just fine.
Comment 11 Patrick Silva 2017-12-02 22:17:43 UTC 
dragon is your software, not a gnome software.
k3b and kolourpaint were fixed,
why do you not want to fix dragon?
Comment 12 Harald Sitter 2017-12-02 22:27:08 UTC 
Dragon sets its desktop file metadata, from there plasma wayland can deduce its icon/name/genericname/comment/exec/anythingelsethatisinthedesktopfile. gnomeshell needs to do the same or it's their fault that the icon doesn't work. anything else is a stupid workaround for stupid software to continue to be stupid. and if I hate one thing it's encouraging stupid.
