I was able to reproduce this, but only in Wayland.

[ahoneybun]

Ah yes I'm also on Wayland so that must be the key.

[Drakulix]

Popsicle is likely not setting the correct Application ID, as the icon is not transmitted via the wayland protocol (in contrast to X11), but instead matched with it's desktop file by it's app id.

So there is not much the shell can do about this and it is more likely a Popsicle bug.

[n3m0-22]

For certain applications like Popsicle Pop Shell is using a generic application icon instead of the correct icon.

@ahoneybun Are there other applications you've seen this happening with, or just Popsicle?

[ahoneybun]

Here is another one:

• cameractrls

[n3m0-22]

Interesting I can see happen with cameractrls if I run it from the source on GitHub, but the Flatpak shows the icon properly.

[ahoneybun]

It looks like it's just those two at least the installed applications on my system.

[n3m0-22]

It does not affect the Flatpak of Popsicle either. This is in the logs when I run popsicle-gtk.

[ahoneybun]

Looks like LibreOffice also does this but just the System (deb) version as the Flatpak version works fine.

[TC68]

I am having this with the deb version of libreoffice. Sometimes it gets it right, but it often has a generic gear icon, or the wrong libreoffice application icon (e.g. a calc file showing with the writer icon).

I'm not using wayland.
