Application task bar: Three different windows, three identical icons
SUMMARY
While I use SeaMonkey (former Mozilla Application Suite
<https://www.seamonkey-project.org/>), I have constantly open several windows:
The browser, the mail reader, the mail composer and so on. Each type of window
has distinguished application icon. Whereas I can see correct icons in task
switcher (alt+tab) and window decorations (upper left corner), the icons on the
task switching bar are wrong. All those different windows has just one icon -
the main application logo. This is constantly confusing.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Run SeaMonkey
2. Open different windows: browser and mailer
3. Check the taskbar
OBSERVED RESULT
All icons are the same - an application logo.
EXPECTED RESULT
Icons on the taskbar should reflect the window icon, not the application logo.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Operating System: KDE neon 5.21
KDE Plasma Version: 5.21.0
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.79.0
Qt Version: 5.15.2
Kernel Version: 5.11.0-051100-generic

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I've noticed the issue since I use Plasma 5 few years ago. This used to work
earlier in KDE3/4. While it is just a minor issue (confusion) with icon+text
task bar, it is a major usability issue for now-so-modern icon only task bar.
Not sure about another apps behavior, as only few apps today are "one process,
multiple windows". LibreOffice for example has correct icons.
