Details

Description: Application managers like cairo-dock think the spawned process is separate to the program that launches it, instead of grouping together under the .desktop files launcher they create additional icons for each spawned application. This behaviour can be changed by defining "WMStartupClass=deluge" in the deluge.desktop file.

Not sure if this is intentional due to this option causing undesired behaviour in other circumstances, if not, then I and many other dock users would appreciate this simple amendment!

From my

Required packages:
deluge
cairo-dock

Steps to reproduce:
1) Add deluge launcher to cairo-dock either by right clicking an open copy of deluge and chosing "make launcher", or by dragging the /usr/share/applications/deluge.desktop file on to cairo-dock.
2) Click launcher.
3) Have two entries on the dock bar :'<
4) open a console type: xprop | grep CLASS
5) click deluge window
6) console output = WM_CLASS(STRING) = "deluge", "Deluge"
7) Add "WMStartupClass=deluge" to deluge.desktop
8) Only one icon for deluge on cairo-dock \o/ <3 \o/

PS. Thank you for your efforts to make this a stellar linux distro!
