With that change to the .desktop file, both the existing rgl and the rgl
with a group_leader set behave the same: all x11() and rgl windows are
collected together into the same R icon.
If I don't make that change, then setting the group_leader causes all
rgl windows from one process to group together (with a bad icon).
I think I'll leave the group_leader in place. I'll think about setting
an icon, but I don't see it as urgent.

It all works now, thanks mostly to some very detailed reading of the specs by
Ivan. In short, I made the following changes:
- add the missing WM hint to the .desktop file we install
- add the svg logo as 'scalable'
- create a new (square) 48x48 default png logo from the new one
- deactivate yesterday's patch
and it is all good now. Duncan's rgl windows aggregate under the item, as do
the standard R x11 devices. I will try to attach a small screenshot, we'll
see how mailman likes it. Martin should still be able to get the old (and to
me, buggy) behaviour back by removing the one key line from the .desktop
file, if his Fedora environment ever updates as I plan.
For anyone on Ubuntu 20.10, updated binaries are in my PPA, see
