--- Comment #2 from Nate Graham <pointedst...@zoho.com> ---
The KWin window manager is responsible for generating this icon, and currently
in X11, it always lets the window itself determine the icon. So for those
Chromium instances, Chromium is choosing its own icon, and KWin is using that
instead of respecting the custom icon you've set in the .desktop files.

Though it's not the same issue, the root cause is the same as
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=351055, so I'm going mark it as a
duplicate as getting that fixed will fix this, too.

In a nutshell, there are two ways for us to go forward:

1. Change the KWin behavior on X11 to always use the icon from the desktop file
instead of letting the window choose its own icon

2. Use Wayland, where KWin respects the Wayland window manager spec, which
requires the use of icons from .desktop files instead of letting the window
choose its own icon.
