Description of problem: When using GNOME/Wayland, the running BOINC Manager (boincmgr) application has a generic placeholder icon associated with it. This occurs in both Fedora 32 and Rawhide. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 7.16.6-3 (F32) or 7.16.6-5 (Rawhide) How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start a GNOME/Wayland desktop session. 2. Launch BOINC Manager from the Applications menu. (The launcher has the correct icon.) 3. Observe that the running application has a generic placeholder icon. Actual results: Running application has a generic placeholder icon. Expected results: Running application has a custom application-specific icon. Additional info: Upstream bug: https://github.com/BOINC/boinc/issues/3810 This is another manifestation of the issue discussed in https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/issues/1779, in which gnome-shell cannot match the running application with its desktop file. As far as gnome-shell is concerned, this is resolved by falling back to a generic placeholder icon instead of no icon. Many upstreams ship their own desktop files; in these cases, the issue can be fixed by adding a call to QGuiApplication.setDesktopFileName for Qt applications or g_set_prgname() for GTK applications (like this one). See the fixes in Lyx, Spyder, and Inkscape: https://www.lyx.org/trac/changeset/dc5eda84/lyxgit https://github.com/spyder-ide/spyder/pull/13787/files https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/issues/539 In this case, though, BOINC upstream does not ship a .desktop file, so in my opinion this should be considered a Fedora packaging issue. Here is the file Fedora ships: https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/boinc-client/blob/master/f/boinc-manager.desktop I have verified that the problem can be resolved by renaming the boinc-manager.desktop file to boincmgr.desktop. I think this is more sensible than the alternative, which would be patching the source to call g_set_prgname("boinc-manager") from glib/gutils.h. I have not tested that alternative. If the maintainer agrees, I am happy to prepare a PR to rename the .desktop file.
Hello, thank you for providing a solution for this problem. I really think renaming is the only way to address the problem. Concerning Gtk, the Boinc Manager is not written in Gtk, but is written in WxWidgets. The latter, then "translates" the code into native libraries code for each operating system, Gtk for Linux case. I will take care of renaming the desktop file
