I use the completely amazing SQL database client/tool DbVisualizer in GNOME 3.2 on openSUSE 12.1 x86_64. DbVisualizer is a mammoth Java application. I create a ~/.local/share/applications/dbvis.desktop file so that GNOME3 knowns the application exists and I can start if via Alt-F1, dbv<enter>. It appears in the overview via search correctly, and starts correctly. But multiple instances of the application are not 'collected' into a since icon in the favorites bar like other application. Every instance of DbVisualizer gets a new icon in the bar, and if I add it as a favorite - it appears as a favorite - but clicking the icon always starts a new instance that creates yet another icon on the launcher. Is there a trick to getting the expected behavior [with Java apps??]? #!/usr/bin/env xdg-open [Desktop Entry] Version=1.0 Type=Application Terminal=false Icon[en_US]=/opt/dbvis80/.install4j/dbvis.png Exec=/opt/dbvis80/dbvis Name[en_US]=DBVisualizer 8.0 Comment[en_US]=The world's most awesome SQL client Name=DBVisualizer Comment=The world's most awesome SQL client Icon=/opt/dbvis80/.install4j/dbvis.png --- GNOME3 - The desktop, evolved.
