Public bug reported:
Hello, some third-party applications (not installed via Software Center) does
not show its icon on the Unity panel task manager, neither in the application
switcher.
For this testing I have used two applications: Oracle SQL Developer and the Qt
Creator Installer.
cap1.png and cap2.png images show the problem in the panel and application
switcher.
This applications also allow the option "Lock to launcher" as showed in
cap3.png, then in some aplications, the strange icon keep in launcher, but it
cannot launch the application at all. This sometimes cause other major
problems, for instance when I have a "Locked to launcher" third application,
and launch another one (third party too), then Unity thinks that both
applications are the same, and only handles one of them, therefore if I
minimize the one not handled, then I cannot maximize it any more neither by the
application switcher because it neither appears there. Unfortunately, I don't
now how to reproduce this strange behaviour always.
The Gnome-Shell handles well these third-party applications, the
application icon is displyed in panel and application switcher and I
haven't seen the strange behaviour which does not allow to maximize
minimized windows and all always appears in the application switcher. As
you can see in cap4.png and cap5.png.
I think Unity should handle these applications as well as Gnome-Shell.
