Cinnamon grouped-window-list - some apps don't "group" #986
-

In Cinnamon's grouped-window-list applet,with "Group windows by application" set on, clicking on an app in the window-list opens the app and puts an "underline" bar under the selected app icon. But for some apps (mainly installed manually?) , clicking not only opens the app but adds another icon for the app on the main part of the panel. The second icon disappears when the app is closed. This happens for me with balena-etcher for example, installed via downloaded .deb file. Is there a way to make apps in grouped-window-list NOT create this second icon when launched? |

But in a nutshell:
Get the proper value for StartupWMClass by running in a terminal xprop WM_CLASS,
the pointer changes, you click on an open window of your misbehaving application, i.e. for thunderbird esr via apt:
Code: Select all
user@machine:
$ xprop WM_CLASS$ _WM_CLASS(STRING) = "Mail", "thunderbird-esr"
user@machine:
Use the second value, here:
Code: Select all
Exec=thunderbird %u
StartupWMClass=thunderbird-esr
Close all open application windows and save your .desktop file.
