Bug Description

Ubuntu 17.10 daily ISO with GNOME

When I click the new artful Amazon app, Firefox starts but there is no blue dot associated with the icon in GNOME's Activities Overview to show that Amazon is running.

Of course, the current implementation isn't a true webapp but more of a bookmark but maybe there's some way we could get the blue dot.

- Have a background service running? The problem is when should the service stop running?
- Would StartupWMClass in the .desktop do anything useful?

Far too heavyweight and I can't imagine how you would manage the
lifecycle.

What do you pick? Firefox? Then it's wrong if they change the browser.
And furthermore it would probably make all Firefox windows be associated
with this icon.

I think this is exceedingly minor, but if you want to work on it, be my
guest.
