I have two Eclipse installations and for each of them a desktop file, see below.

For the icons, I'm using eclipse in both cases with an activated Numix Icon Theme.

If I search and start the applications via Activities, the icons are correct.

But not in the taskbar on the left hand side after the start

How can I change this behaviour, I want the Numix icons on the left hand side also.

Some more details

find /usr/share/icons/Numix-Circle -iname "*eclipse*"

/usr/share/icons/Numix-Circle/48x48/apps/redeclipse.svg

  • Is this a sudden change in behaviour, or has it always been like this? –  Jul 28 '15 at 16:26
  • @ParanoidPanda Not suddenly. The problem occurred immediately in my old GNOME 3.14 and in GNOME 3.16. – A.B. Jul 28 '15 at 16:36

    It could be a bug, if you haven't made any changes lately that could have caused this issue, it is likely to be a bug, and even if you can get a fix or workaround from here, filing a bug report would probably be a good thing to do. –  Jul 28 '15 at 16:43
  • I have a very similar problem. Installed Gnome on 16.04. Installed and created .desktop for Netscape Navigator. Now when I start Firefox in Gnome it shows as Netscape Navigator with its icon. Not a problem in Unity or Xfce, only in Gnome. – Moilleadóir Nov 03 '17 at 02:10
  • Are you sure those StartupWMClass entries have correct values? – pomsky Nov 25 '18 at 16:57
  • @pomsky three years later? No :D – A.B. Nov 25 '18 at 20:05
  • @A.B. Well, the issue seems to be still relevant :D usually a correct StartupWMClass entry fixes it. – pomsky Nov 25 '18 at 20:21
