Steam is shown on Gnome as being "unknown" without any icon, even though the steam launcher is simply downloading an update and the icon appears on previous versions of Ubuntu

[Seija K.]

When I installed Steam, the launcher opened. However, instead of showing the icon, which the Gnome launchpad did, the side-bar showed no icon and only showed "Unknown" as the title, even though the window is titled "steam".

To reproduce, simply download Steam from the steam website, run dpkg -i on the deb, and run the launcher after downloading the prerequisites.

Thank you for your bug report, do you get the issue using the package from the Ubuntu archive?

Maybe related to bug 1873411.
