2012-04-23 12:17:24 Jussi Pakkanen description Start the application "xev". Move mouse over the panel. The pop-up text claims that the application's name is "Hud" even though the Window title is "Event tester". This seems to happen with apps that are not Gtk and Qt. If you open several different applications, the panel will group them under the same icon, even though they are totally different. Start the application "xev". Move mouse over the panel. The pop-up text claims that the application's name is "Hud" even though the Window title is "Event tester". This seems to happen with apps that are not Gtk and Qt. If you open several different applications, the panel will group them under the same icon, even though they are totally different. Unity-2D shows the app name properly, but launching more than one app groups them under the same icon.

NEEDS DESIGN: What should be the panel text when an (unmaximized) application window cannot be matched to a desktop file? Should it be the window's title itself?
