We agreed that our solution should (a) not require changes in applications except D-Bus activatable applications, since there are relatively few such applications and we can fix them easily, and our solution should also (b) result in matching behavior between mutter's X11 and Wayland backends, i.e. we agree that it's wrong to prefer the GtkApplication ID in the Wayland backend but WM_CLASS/xdg_surface.set_application_id in the X11 backend. Our preferred solution is to simply revert this change. Then WM_CLASS/xdg_surface.set_application_id will be preferred always. D-Bus activatable applications will need to set their prgname to the full name of the desktop file, e.g. g_set_prgname("org.gnome.gedit"). This is already required by our current documentation of GNOME's application matching [1] so it is not really any change in our guidance. We would then fix all D-Bus activatable apps. To make this simpler, it would be ideal for applications to not need to call g_set_prgname, but for it to be set properly automatically. This requires GTK+ to know whether an application is D-Bus activatable. Is there already a solution for that? If not, we discussed one possibility: adding a new enum value to GApplicationFlags, say G_APPLICATION_IS_DBUS_ACTIVATABLE. GTK+ would then use this to determine that the prgname should be set to the GtkApplication ID rather than argv[0]. I am not entirely sure this new flag would be a good idea, though, since it's not going to be much easier to use than simply setting the prgname manually.
