Public bug reported:
I have an icon on my launcher for the terminal, recently I made a new
item for "application in terminal" in the Main Menu, it is a shell
script like the one below and gave this new menu item an IRC client
icon. If I open this with a terminal open, it opens in a terminal under
the same icon on the launcher as the existing terminal. If I open it
first it opens under a new icon in the launcher with the IRC icon, then
all subsequent terminal windows I open end up under the same icon on the
launcher. This makes it annoying to find my terminals and the terminal
with my IRC client.
here's the script, it opens two IRC clients, one locally one not so locally:
gnome-terminal -e weechat-curses &
while [ 1 ]; do
ssh -t my.domain.name "screen -rd irc"
done
Steps to re-create
==============
1. Start on an empty desktop.
2. make a script like the one above to open some application (like weechat) in
a terminal.
3. Use the "Main Menu" editor to add an "irc" icon to your dash, which is an
"application in terminal" pointing to your script, do not pin it to the
launcher.
4. Pin the standard terminal to your launcher.
5. Make sure the desktop is still empty of any windows.
5. Open "irc" via the dash.
6. Open a standard terminal from the launcher icon.
Expected results
=============
The terminal containing weechat and the standard terminal are under the
terminal icon on the launcher.
Actual results
===========
Both the IRC chat and any terminals you open are now under the irc icon in the
launcher with whatever icon it has set in the menu.
