WindowMatching
This page intends to list all applications which currently present problems with window matching in the Unity launcher.
Application |
How to see the problem |
Has a .desktop file? |
Has an executable? |
How to fix |
Bluetooth Wizard |
Execute bluetooth-wizard. Icon is fuzzy and the launcher obtained by pinning does not work. |
No |
Yes, bluetooth-wizard |
Simply creating .desktop file pointing to the executable seems to work |
Send via Bluetooth |
Execute bluetooth-sendto. Icon is fuzzy and the launcher obtained by pinning does not work. |
No |
Yes, bluetooth-sendto |
Simply creating .desktop file pointing to the executable seems to work |
Evolution Backup |
Execute the backup wizard in Evolution. Icon is fuzzy and the launcher obtained by pinning does not work. |
No |
The closest thing is /usr/lib/evolution/<version>/evolution-backup |
Creating a .desktop file pointing to /usr/lib/evolution/<version>/evolution-backup works, but the launcher doesn't make sense because it cannot be launched as a standalone app |
Policykit |
Open anything that requires authorization, for example adjusting Date & Time. Icon is fuzzy and the launcher obtained by pinning does not work. |
Yes, /etc/xdg/autostart/polkit-gnome-authentication-agent-1.desktop |
The closest thing is /usr/lib/policykit-1-gnome/polkit-gnome-authentication-agent-1 |
Copying the .desktop to /usr/share/applications works, but the launcher doesn't make sense because it cannot be launched as a standalone app |
pango-view |
Open pango-view with any document as the argument. Goes completely insane: opens two icons, each one indicating three instances, and with no icon |
No |
Yes, pango-view |
