All I had to do was change the StartupWMClass= and the --class= in the exec= line in the desktop launcher. Starting with 14.04, Unity ignores these values and groups the chromium windows together. Similarly, webapp instances (created using file-> create application shortcuts) are also grouped under the one chromium icon. This beats the purpose of webapps, as it makes it much more difficult to regard a webpage as an application. To replicate: 1. copy the chromium-browser.desktop to two different locations: 1.desktop and 2.desktop. 2. Edit 1.desktop to the following values: Exec=chromium-browser --temp-profile --class=Other %U StartupWMClass=Other 3. Edit 2.desktop to the following values: Exec=chromium-browser --temp-profile --class=Other2 %U StartupWMClass=Other2 4. Start both from nautilus or from the desktop. In 13.10, this results in separate icons on the launcher, in 14.04, only one. It seems that I'm not the only one to encounter this problem: http://askubuntu.com/questions/450113/multiple-chromium-icons-in- launcher-of-14-04-lts And this is further evidence that the icons were separable in previous versions: http://ricardofeliciano.me/how-to-create-a-unity-launcher- icon-for-each-chromechromium-profile-in-ubuntu/ Thanks, UCP To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bamf/+bug/1311795/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
