Public bug reported:
Problem:
On Ubuntu Desktop 20.04, everything latest, I have run into the inconvenience
that when I'm running a GUI program without a freedesktop .desktop launcher,
the Ubuntu Dock shows it as an empty space (since it has no icon of its own).
Expected behavior:
I would expect a generic placeholder / fallback icon to be shown for such
applications, as an empty space at the bottom of the Dock is hard to find, and
makes navigating applications frustrating. (In older versions of Ubuntu, a
generic application icon was shown in such cases.)
Steps to reproduce:
1. Open terminal
2. Run "xclock" from the terminal
3. Observe the blank space on Ubuntu Dock
Some relevant package versions:
gnome-shell: 3.36.3-1ubuntu1~20.04.2
gnome-shell-extension-ubuntu-dock: 68ubuntu1~20.04.1
yaru-theme-icon: 20.04.7
