Hi,
Long-time Ubuntu user, just moved over to Bionic. I run a rather elderly editor, MicroEmacs with some custom stuff (it's fine, so does Linus!)
I can create a .desktop for it, but that just creates a launcher. I typically invoke it from the command line. When I do this (and also with the launcher) the running app just shows as blank in the dock, like this:
281116
It's really annoying, particularly as it's creating a new slot for every instance, cluttering up the dock. Is there any way to tell the dock which icon to show for a running, simple app?
Thanks,
Jim
