I can say for sure that GNOME Shell application matching in previous GNOME
releases does not work unless prgname is set to the name of the desktop file.
See for instance GNOME Chess 3.10, with a binary named gnome-chess and a
desktop file glchess.desktop. I set the prgname to glchess, or else GNOME Shell
displayed a blurry icon and the name of the binary (or was it the desktop
file?) rather than "GNOME Chess" in the app menu when running gnome-chess in
jhbuild. (I later renamed the desktop file to match the binary and got rid of
the call that sets prgname at the same time.)

We also have a wiki page instructing developers to set prgname to match the
desktop file: https://wiki.gnome.org/Projects/GnomeShell/ApplicationBased
