New instance instead of switching to window

[Marcel J]

Hi!

I use Docky (2.0.13).
When I right-click an Iceweasel (4.0.1) icon in Docky, there is no "Pin to dock"-option.

When I drag an Iceweasel-launcher-link to the dock, it is possible to start Iceweasel using docky.

However, using this launcher would add another Iceweasel-icon to the dock. Left-clicking the Iceweasel-launcher more than once would start multiple instances of Iceweasel.

I use Debian Wheezy x64, my video chip is an Intel GMA 4500MHD. My Gnome version is 2.30, I think my mono version is 2.6.7-5. I don't know my X-Version right now :(

Finally, here is the content of iceweasel.desktop

I have been hit by this bug as well ( here Iceweasel 6 and Docky version: 2.0.6 Release ) when upgrading Iceweasel 3.5 to Iceweasel 6

This is the way I solved the problem:

  * delete all Iceweasel icon from Docky
  * start iceweasel once from the gnome menu and close it
  * drag with the mouse the application icon from /usr/share/applications/iceweasel.desktop to your dock ( note: tedious, it might need many tries )

Please ignore my previous comment.

The proper way to fix this is documented here: http://wiki.go-docky.com/index.php?title=How_to_Customize_Window_Matching

The problem was triggered by the change of WM_CLASS from Iceweasel to Firefox betweeen different versions of the Iceweasel Package.

putting StartupWMClass=Firefox in iceweasel.desktop fixes the problem

@Docky Maintainers: feel free to close this bug report, it is not a Docky Bug, but an Iceweasel configuration problem

Not a Docky Bug
