            Bug ID: 378612
           Summary: Many applications show generic wayland icon in taskbar
           Product: kwin
           Version: 5.9.4
          Platform: Other
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: wayland-generic
          Assignee: kwin-bugs-n...@kde.org
          Reporter: andr...@stikonas.eu
  Target Milestone: ---

In Wayland session many applications (especially extragear) show generic
wayland icon in plasma task manager.

If I understand correctly Plasma taskmanager gets application id from kwin and
then tries to find appropriate .desktop file and look for Icon entry.

Now the problem happens when applications have their own non kde.org domain
name (those include kalarm, ktorrent, kile, krusader, kbibtex, etc...). Let's
look at KAlarm example:

In kalarm/src/main.cpp it sets homepage to http://www.astrojar.org.uk/kalarm
Similarly it says organization domain to kde.org. Both of these are reasonable.

Now for some reason the id that libtaskmanager gets from kwin is
org.astrojar.kalarm. However, desktop file uses reverse dns of organization
domain, i.e. org.kde.kalarm. Hence no icon is found.
