This BR is used used to track problems related to the Snap package and its integration with various desktop environments under Wayland.
Specifically, as of right now we are:
- KDE: The taskbar icon works, but generic icons are shown in the application switcher (alt-tab) and window frame (when using native frame)
- GNOME: works, only if a specific name is used for the desktop file (which is what we are doing right now)
We believe that this problem are caused by the way Snap(d) forces a certain name to the installed .desktop file and the inability of Desktop Environments/Window Managers to match it.
