To handle Spotify GUI size I created a custom spotify.desktop for my
user in order to scale the GUI for high DPI monitor and the Application
is duplicated in the launcher.

The WM_CLASS is correctly configured, I just copied the original
.desktop file and modified the 'Exec' line. Also verified value using
`xprop WM_CLASS` command.

Even though both files match with Application name and WM_CLASS the
snap's version is always present. Is not an issue as I just favorite my
version... previously when installing Spotify from a .deb file this
worked flawlessly.

Might be an issue in when the a snap '.desktop' are imported vs
traditional imports.

Title:
  [snap] No separate icon/window tracking for app launchers

Status in chromium-browser package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I've created a custom chromium launcher for an internal website, starting 
chromium in --app mode.
  The launcher should get it's own Gnome dash icon.

  To match the created windows to the dash icon, I've taken the following 
measures:
  - include "StartupWMClass=myfoo" in the myfoo.desktop file
  - gave chromium the "--class=myfoo" parameter to make it set it's WM_CLASS to 
myfoo

  I've verified the WM_CLASS to be properly set to myfoo using xprop.
  However, this does not work when chromium is launched via snap.
  All windows get attributed to the chromium dash icon no matter what their 
WM_CLASS is.

  Bypassing snap and launching chromium via
  /snap/chromium/current/usr/lib/chromium-browser/chrome fixes the
  problem.

  Here are the full chromium exec lines:
  Broken:
  Exec=chromium --class=myfoo --no-first-run --app=https://internal.example.com/
  Working:
  Exec=/snap/chromium/current/usr/lib/chromium-browser/chrome --class=myfoo 
--no-first-run --app=https://internal.example.com/

  This is on a fully patched 20.04 system.
