The current heuristics used in gnome-shell check for _GTK_APPLICATION_ID first,
and only then use WM_CLASS/xdg_surface.application_id. So unless you are
suggesting to modify our heuristics, the g_set_prgname() call is not used for
app matching in the case of DBus-activatable apps as long as they're based on
GtkApplication.

That should already work for the majority of applications on X11 - prgname
defaults to the executable's basename, which usually matches the .desktop
filename for non-DBus-activatable apps.
And if xdg_surface.application_id is changed to match the prgname again, it
would just work for most apps on wayland again.
