No icon in the taskbar

[Erick555]

After update to 6.0 there is no app icon shown in the taskbar - only generic xorg icon.

Perhaps it can't match the window class id with the app icon. I don't know if some tweak in desktop file can fix it or is it generic flutter apps issue.

I can workaround this issue by copying com.yubico.yubioath.png icon as authenticator.png to ~/.icons folder

EDIT: This is on KDE X11

On debian + gnome shell, i do have the correct icon.

Ran into this also on KDE X11 (Kubuntu 20.04.2). The workaround does not work for me however. In my case it is icon tasks taskbar.

I have this with the beta flatpak aswell. (on kde)

The problem lies in that the application first opens calling itself "com.yubico.yubioath" but when the main window opens it seems to be called "authenticator".

There exists a "com.yubico.yubioath.desktop" file, but none that matches the "later" main window and thusly yubico auntheticator gets a generic wayland icon.

I have attached a recording showcasing the issue:
yubico aunth.webm
both icons that appear belong to yubico auntheticator. Usually the icon with the loading symbol disappears quite quick, leaving only the wayland icon but i managed to record it when it took longer to start.

Expected, only one icon in taskbar, that first loads and then not, always showing the correct icon.
This is achieved if all windows of the application refer to the same .desktop file, if I have understood it correctly.

Many apps have this issue on wayland but this is something only upstream can fix. At least in KDE you can do:

Right click on tittle bar -> More actions -> Configure special application settings -> Add property -> Desktop filename -> Type desired desktop filename ( com.yubico.yubioath in this case) and use Force option
