panel: window-list - fall back to StartupWMClass when resolving application icons - #589

Conversation
Some applications report a window class that differs from their desktop file ID, leaving their window-list icons blank. For example, HexChat reports "Hexchat" but installs io.github.Hexchat.desktop. When desktop file ID lookup fails, search installed desktop entries for a matching StartupWMClass and use the entry's icon.

That's certainly a novel approach, can't say I'd have ever come up with this. LGTM, thanks for the work again! |
