Created attachment 145057 [details] screenshot showing incorrect icon SUMMARY "Web apps" in this context are shortcuts to websites, created as desktop files in .local/share/applications by the web browser. These are created to enable "alt-tabbing" between web sites, and having icons in the "Icons-Only Task Manager" to make access to those sites quick and easy. I'm using Microsoft Edge as the browser, and what I explained below works on X11, but not on Wayland. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Install / Open Microsoft Edge 2. Visit a website that has an icon such as Tweetdeck or BBC news (site selection doesn't really matter, but needs a favicon) 3. In Edge click Kebab -> Apps -> Install this site as an app 4. Enter a description, then click "Install" button OBSERVED RESULT under WAYLAND Under wayland - not working : - A window opens, detached from the browser, with the website chosen inside it. - ALT-TAB shows the 'favicon' for the site in the switcher - The Icons-Only Task Manager does _not_ show the right icon. Instead, you see a second icon for the browser. In the attached screenshot, you'll see bottom left, that I am hovering over the second Microsoft Edge icon, which should be a Tweetdeck icon, and from the preview you can (just about) see the web content is the Tweetdeck site. EXPECTED RESULT under X11 Under X11 - working : - A window opens, detached from the browser, with the website chosen inside it. - ALT-TAB shows the 'favicon' for the site in the switcher - The Icons-Only Task Manager shows the correct icon for the additional application. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux/KDE Plasma: Kubuntu 21.10 + Kubuntu Backports PPA KDE Plasma Version: 5.23.4 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.89.0 Qt Version: 5.15.2 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
The problem is that on X11 we use the windowClassName to map the window to the .desktop file, which works. On Wayland we (mainly) use the applicationId for that, which only really works for native Wayland windows, not XWayland windows like Edge. What we probably need to do is expose the windowClassName for XWayland windows in the Plasma<->KWin communication and use that in the task manager
https://chromium-review.googlesource.com/c/chromium/src/+/3383817 might fix that, unless Edge has a custom codepath for that
