GNOMEs Hell should be fixed, not the applications.

In all other desktops with dock - Unity, MATE (with Mutiny panel layout)
- it works as expected.

  can't add KDE apps to GNOME dock

Bug description:
  Hi,

  I clean installed Ubuntu 18.04 yesterday and noticed I couldn't add
  KDE apps to the GNOME dock. Basically, the "Add to Favorites" option
  is missing from the right-click menu of dock icons of currently-
  running KDE apps.

  If I search for a KDE app using the "Show Applications" button, and
  right-click on an app in the search results before running it, that
  menu does contain "Add to Favorites". However, if this is used, the
  added app behaves incorrectly, in that clicking on its icon in the
  dock always launches a new instance rather than bringing any existing
  instance to the front.

  Previously I used Ubuntu 14.04 (with Unity) and KDE apps could be
  added to the dock and managed as expected (i.e. clicking app icon when
  app is running brought it to the front).

  Some searching around suggests this might be related to missing
  StartWMClass fields in the .desktop files of the KDE apps. I added
  StartWMClass=kate to /usr/share/applications/org.kde.kate.desktop and
  that seemed to fix the problem. However this didn't work for Konsole,
  so there might be more to fixing this in general.

  I think this is probably either a KDE bug (they need to correct all
  their .desktop files?), a GNOME bug, or at the very least an Ubuntu-
  level regression in the Unity->GNOME transition that may justify
  taking action somewhere.
