Wine application icon is wrong

[pafosdfkapos]

Wine applications do not have correct icons when displayed on Plank, the default "Wine" icon is used instead.

For example, if .desktop file Exec and Icon lines looks like this:

Exec=env WINEPREFIX="/home/kristjan/.wine" wine C:\\\\windows\\\\command\\\\start.exe /Unix /home/kristjan/.wine/dosdevices/c:/users/Public/Start\\ Menu/Programs/GOG.com/Stronghold\\ Crusader\\ Extreme\\ HD/Stronghold\\ Crusader\\ HD.lnk
Icon=4F80_Stronghold Crusader.0

Then the default "Wine" icon is used, but not the icon from the .desktop file.

BUT, if the Exec and Icons lines look like that:

Exec=wine "/home/kristjan/.wine/drive_c/GOG Games/Stronghold Crusader Extreme HD/Stronghold Crusader.exe"
Icon=4F80_Stronghold Crusader.0

The icon is now displayed correctly.

I can't reproduce it here.

Please provide some system information such as the version of plank you are running.

Latest Freya beta build (all updated)

[pafosdfkapos (pafosdfkapos)]

I just made a fresh install of Freya Beta and this time I installed wine1.6 just to make sure that the bug is not Wine specific. The icon is still the same, old Wine icon.

I installed MS Office 2010 and the Word .desktop Exec lined looked like this:
Exec=env WINEPREFIX="/home/kristjan/.wine" wine C:\\\\windows\\\\command\\\\start.exe /Unix /home/kristjan/.wine/dosdevices/c:/users/kristjan/Start\\ Menu/Programs/Microsoft\\ Office/Microsoft\\ Word\\ 2010.lnk

After I changed the line to:
Exec=wine "/home/kristjan/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/Microsoft Office/Office14/WINWORD.EXE"

The icon was displayed correctly, I even could pin it to the Plank with the correct Word icon. BUT, if i closed the Word and reopened it, the Wine icon was created on the plank and the window was again opened in there...

So it means that Slingshot can run the Wine app correctly with the proper icon IF the Exec line is directing to the correct ".exe" file, but Plank seams to ignore the Icon rule, therefore a new "launcher" is created on Plank even when the Word app is pinned on the Plank.

This is not a plank bug but a wine one. The desktop files needs to include a proper StartupWMClass and the process itself must set one on its windows as well which is usually the filename of the executable.
