A bit of extra information for 12.04.

Even when everything seems to work fine from the unity launcher you do not always get the correct matching if you start from a file which is associated with the program. ie if I right click on a .jpg file and open it with Paintshop Pro if turns up in the Launcher as Picasa or with a Wine Icon depending on which machine I am using. I have tried defining a different StartupWMClass= for each program (as per #16) and placing them in~/.local/share/applications but even that still does not always give the correct behavior for starting a Wine program from an association.

It is time we got this sorted out, it is nearly a year since my last postings and nothing really seems to have changed - one can not expect new users to have to modify files and run scripts to get close to normal behavior. <End of Rant>
