SUMMARY KDE (& GNOME) in the last few months/years started rolling out an innovative resource management that makes usage of cgroups (thanks David Edmundson). I assume that this is what "Applications" tab is using to determine to which program a certain process belongs to. According to the specifications the app units are of the following format: * app[-<launcher>]-<ApplicationID>[@<RANDOM>].service * app[-<launcher>]-<ApplicationID>-<RANDOM>.scope The interesting bit should be the <ApplicationID>. Note that, assuming to split unit by the dashes, the app_id is in the last and second to last split. However, using systemd-cgls, you can notice that there is a third possibility: * app-<ApplicationID>-autostart.service Even if it is a ".service", the app_id is in the second to last split, not in the last one. I assume this is what Plasma System Monitor forgets when displaying OBSERVED RESULT https://i.imgur.com/n6Ysb4T.png SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS KDE Plasma Version: 5.21.4 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.81.0 Qt Version: 5.15.2
Fixed in systemd with https://github.com/systemd/systemd/commit/84c46fb03c9a8b4c5b2d24e84a77fcb171109fe4
It is indeed fixed in systemd v248. Thanks!
