Details

Opening octave adds a low-quality, second icon to docks. (See screenshots for details).

This is because the .desktop file (located at /usr/share/applications/www.octave.org-octave.desktop)
does not include a StartupWMClass option.

The fix is to add:
StartupWMClass=octave-gui

The desktop file comes from upstream, not from Arch. You should ask them to make this change.

Can the original poster check and make sure this is still affecting them with the current version? Thanks.
