StartupWMClass: Gnome shell does not show icons for running apps #1423

Premise

"AM"/"AppMan" is just a tool to provide applications easily and quickly and is only responsible for integrating the AppImages into the system and installing the various programs available, respecting the following order (refer to the option "-d" to download the installation script without installing it):

  • creation of the base directories and the removal script
  • download of the package
  • creation of the version file and the update script
  • possibly, extraction of the icons and .desktop files, if needed

The malfunction of the installation scripts will then be taken into account. On the contrary, any malfunction related to individual applications is the responsibility of the related developer or packager. Refer to the option "-a" to know the sources of each program listed here, so you can contact them to report the bug.


Please, describe the bug

Hi, I'm using Arch Linux fully updated with Gnome 47 and the latest version of AM.

The problem I'm facing is I can't see the icons for running apps installed via AM. The icons show in the app grid but not int the running windows, for example Google Chrome:

It shows well in the app grid, but in the panel or the activities overview, it just shows a gear icon:

And this happens with every appimage.
Can you help me find a workaround? From what I could gather this a specific problem with gnome and appimages, but I'm not really sure.
