[Pkg-chromium-maint] Bug#813079: chromium.desktop: StartupWMClass does not match actual WM_CLASS

[Thomas Liske]

found 813079 52.0.2743.116-2
affects 813079 docky
thanks


Hi,

it seems that the StartWMClass option has been already changed:

  $ dpkg-query -W chromium
  chromium        52.0.2743.116-2

  $ grep WMClass /usr/share/applications/chromium.desktop
  StartupWMClass=chromium-browser

Sadly, the WM_CLASS of chromium's window does not match again:

  $ xprop | grep WM_CLASS
  WM_CLASS(STRING) = "chromium", "chromium"

Please change StartupWMClass to "chromium". The dock app "docky" shows
a wrong icon and name for chromium as a result of the mismatching
class name since it searches for the StartupWMClass option of
.desktop files[1] to find icons and names.

TIA & HTH,
