Bug Description

I have noticed that after upgrading to Ubuntu GNOME 16.04 with GNOME 3.20 that I am unable to pin gnome-terminal to Docky. There simply is no option even though it was pinned there before when I was running the previous GNOME version. It also pins perfectly well to the built-in GNOME dock in the Activities Overview, and I have also tried it and it works fine with some other docking applications such as Plank. I am running Docky version 2.2.1.1-1 and gnome-terminal version 3.20.2-1ubuntu1~xenial1.

Hi!

The bug is still there.. ;)

Is there any workaround?

BTW, it happens with other apps too - eg Viber.

More information on this bug. It appears to be a Wayland problem. Things appear to work properly in Gnome with an Xorg session.

Try the following workaround:
1. Find executable file /usr/share/applications/Terminal
2. Drag and drop the icon on the Docky
This worked with OpenSuse 42.3 Gnome 3.20.2

Thanks Alexey. That worked, but since terminal is now a snap, it crashes docky shortly after startup.
