           Summary: Gnome Shell does not show Wine program names in dash
                    and panel
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.3.19
          Platform: x86
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown
        AssignedTo: wine-bugs at winehq.org
        ReportedBy: uhkeller at googlemail.com


In the Gnome (3.0) shell, all running Wine applications share the same
nondescript icon, and their title in the panel is always given as "Wine Windows
Program Loader". Switching between Wine apps using the Dash requires a
right-click on the shared icon.

I have filed a bug report on this in the Gnome bugzilla, and it seems the issue
occurs because Wine sets the WM_CLASS of its Windows differently than Gnome
Shell expects. Gnome Shell expects WM_CLASS to match the .desktop file of the
application, while Wine sets it to "Wine" and the name of the Windows
executable. E.g. for Word 2007, xprop gives me:

WM_CLASS(STRING) = "WINWORD.EXE", "Wine"

while the .desktop file for Word 2007 is "Microsoft Office Word 2007.desktop"


I'm using Wine 1.3.19 on Arch Linux i686.
