The window property is in X window under name WM_CLASS, but it's
identified in the .desktop file with a slightly different field
name, the desktop entry should look something like this:
----------------
[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Version=1.0
Type=Application
Name=mcen_ap_name
Exec=/usr/bin/modest
StartupWMClass=modest
(these field names are in the freedeskop.org .desktop file specification)
The WM_CLASS value should also probably given in lower case, when I
tested Emacs on my desktop machine, xprop reported it first in
lower case:
WM_CLASS(STRING) = "emacs", "Emacs"

Why? I don't think either of these should be required,
once you install the .desktop file, AFAIK it should show
up in the applications menu.
