you are the first person that is digging into these parts and also provide helpful hints. Thanks for this! Some rationale for the reason behind the renamed desktop file. Upstream decided to support the AppStream standard and introduced some time ago an *appdata.xml file named net.thunderbird.Thunderbird.appdata.xml This file is lacking an entry for <launchable type="desktop-id"> as upstream isn't shipping an .desktop file yet. The .desktop file we use in Debian is the same as Ubuntu is shipping, in fact I picked some parts from Ubuntu long ago to get these quite the same. I plan to bring the .desktop file into upstream so all Linux distros could participate from that and we get some unifying into that. There is some more work on translations to do. As currently seen this will not work for now without some fallout. :/ The appdata file for example is currently using 'Thunderbird' with the upper case letter 'T' that is chosen unfortunate. The issue that of course some manual added new menu entry within the GNOME quickstarter is currently not working any longer after my last modification did unfortunately come to my attention *after* I've uploaded 1:78.3.3-1. But your hint about adjusting StartupWMClass should help to solve this all together. Depending on available time I'm considering to revert the modification on this until I can rework it properly. If you want and can provide some patches I'm happy to apply them. Currently I see the following steps. 1. Rename net.thunderbird.Thunderbird.appdata.xml to net.thunderbird.thunderbird.appdata.xml 2. Adjust StartupWMClass to 'thunderbird' in net.thunderbird.Thunderbird.desktop Do I (still) miss something here? -- Regards Carsten Schoenert
