Transmission has a nice custom icon in GNOME in Debian stable. But when Transmission is active a generic application icon gets added to the dash instead of just getting the usual dot under the application icon. I have red in some Transmission online source that there is currently no fix for this issue because GTK4 works differently from GTK3. Is this really true?
Is there really no way to tell GNOME which application the running program is part of? I also used TRX to get the original Tob Raider I & II running on Debian. I created an Icon and linked it in a .desktop file for the application. It is nice to be able to boot it this way but there I do have the same behavior that GNOME obviously doesn't understand that the running program belongs to its icon and therefore adds an other generic executable icon to the dash instead of adding a dot under the original dash icon for the application.
