Re: Application with multiple icons

[Donato Marrazzo <donato marrazzo gmail com>]

Thank you very much. You're right both windows:

WM_CLASS(STRING) = "IBM Notes", "IBM Notes"
WM_CLASS(STRING) = "IBM Notes", "IBM Notes"

Whille the icon names are differents... WM_ICON_NAME(STRING)

In desktop file I have no StartupWMClass, is there a way to work around?

I'm not sure but I don't remember this behavior in Gnome 2.32,,, it was so long time ago :-)

Yes, if you mean 3.6, this has indeed been fixed a few releases ago.
