[Libreoffice-bugs] [Bug 125921] All LO apps use the WM_CLASS value of "soffice.bin", so different apps get grouped, and it's impossible to pin more than one to the Plasma Task Manager

This is expected for the kde5 VCL plugin, as it doesn't set WM_CLASS (it's
always the program name default, maybe from Qt); that is the fix for bug
119202.

LO is just one binary (soffice.bin), not individual programs for the modules.
Without adapting the WM_CLASS there is no way to tell, what LO module is
currently loaded inside a LO window. The individual desktop files for the LO
modules have an entry like:

StartupWMClass=libreoffice-writer

which currently matches the class set by the gtk3 VCL plugin, dynamically
changed based on the loaded document.
