Public bug reported:
In some instances, the GNOME dash does not group different instances
with the same wmclass. Tested with Ubuntu 24.04.1 LTS (GNOME Shell 46.0,
snap/snapd 2.66.1+24.04) and confirmed on Ubuntu 24.10
To reproduce:
- install rawtherapee snap -> sudo snap install rawtherapee
- Pin to Dash the rawtherapee icon
- Launch RawTherapee from the dash and see that the instance is given a new
default application icon - expected behaviour ist that it's grouped under the
colorful RawTherapee icon.
I've attached an screenshot showing the problem. In the screenshot you see:
1. the RawTherapee icon is pined to the dash. I start the program from this
icon.
2. an open RawTherapee window is grouped into a new group with the default icon
instead of the icon group from 1.
3. the snap desktop file shows that RawTherapee will start with the
wmclass=rawtherapee, thus I expect all instances with wmclass=rawtherapee to be
grouped into the icon group 1.
4. GNOME looking glass indeed confirms that the RawTherapee instance has
wmclass=rawtherapee, so why is it not grouped into 1.?
** Affects: gnome-shell (Ubuntu)

despite having the according wmclass"
