            Bug ID: 500735
           Summary: Icon widget: Disambiguate same app installed from
                    different sources when multiple Icon widgets are
                    sharing the same containment (panel, folder, etc)
    Classification: Plasma
           Product: plasmashell
           Version: 6.3.0
          Platform: Other
                OS: Linux
            Status: REPORTED
          Keywords: usability
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: Icon widget
          Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org
          Reporter: n...@kde.org
            Blocks: 499065
  Target Milestone: 1.0

If you install the same app from different sources (i.e. Flatpak and distro
packages) and then put Icon widgets for them on the same Panel or Desktop,
they'll appear identical.

As long as both have the same AppStream ID, in principle this can be known and
they'll be visually disambiguated. Unlike the other sub-tasks of Bug 499065,
this is harder since each Icon widget would need to know about other Icon
widgets it's sharing a containment with. As such, it may be impossible or
unfeasible. But  I thought I'd open a ticket for this case anyway.
