Duplicate applications icons in Ubuntu dock
15
I'm using Ubuntu 17.10 with GNOME shell and Numix-Circle icon theme.
When I hover over the Numix icon for Nightly Web Browser, which is pinned to the dock I get the title "Nightly Web Browser".
But when I launch the program, another icon pops up at the bottom, with the name "Nightly".

- Open Files and go to your
/usr/share/applicationsfolder. Look for the "Nightly" file and copy it. - Paste the file in
~/.local/share/applications. It should look like a file with the name<filename>.desktop. - Right click on this
.desktopfile and open with Text Editor. - Launch "Nightly" from "Activities".
- Run
xprop WM_CLASSin Terminal. - Place the cursor over the opened "Nightly" window. The cursor should turn into a crosshair already. Click. You should get a
WM_CLASSstring for "Nightly" in Terminal.
In the
.desktopfile opened in Text Editor and add the following line
StartupWMClass=OBTAINED-VALUE
In place of
OBTAINED-VALUEput a value you got from step 6 without any quotes.
- Save the
.desktopfile.
