I already checked wiki on how to setup .desktop build (https://github.com/i-net-software/SetupBuilder/wiki/DSL-of-desktopStarter), and it lacks some crucial parameters, which i need. For now, i will just repackage generated .deb distribution and add my own .desktop file, but i beg devs to take a look at these parameters:

  1. StartupWMClass - the most important one. It allows app windows to be grouped in the Unity Launcher at startup to avoid doubling icons.
  2. Name[ru] and Comment[ru] - parameters to setup localized name and comment.

Thats all the parameters that i myself need, but i also will be happy if you would add extra customization (https://specifications.freedesktop.org/desktop-entry-spec/latest/recognized-keys.html). I also attached my handmade .desktop file if you need it.

Thank you!
