Public bug reported:
In the package unison-gtk version 2.40.65-1ubuntu1, the .desktop file contains :
StartupWMClass=Unison-gtk
The software creates a window of class :
WM_CLASS(STRING) = "unison-2.40.65-gtk", "Unison-2.40.65-gtk"
Therefore, in the unity launcher, a bad quality icon appears and is not
usable to actually launch the software.
I solved it for myself with a new desktop file in
~/.local/share/applications/unison-gtk.desktop containing:
[Desktop Entry]
Name=Unison
Comment=GTK interface for the unison file synchronization tool 2.40.65
GenericName=File synchronization tool
Exec=unison-2.40.65-gtk
Terminal=false
X-MultipleArgs=false
Type=Application
Icon=/usr/share/pixmaps/unison-gtk.svg
Categories=Utility;FileTools;GTK;
StartupWMClass=Unison-2.40.65-gtk
StartupNotify=true
I'm not sure it is the way to go. Maybe the software itself should create a
window of class :
WM_CLASS(STRING) = "unison-2.40.65-gtk", "Unison-2.40.65-gtk", "Unison-gtk"
