Won't this mean it'll be incorrect for D-Bus activatable applications with no
possibility to fix it? Or do you mean D-Bus activatable applications should set
the prgname to the interface name?

gdk_get_program_class() will most likely never be correct. Prior to the patch,
gedit would be "Gedit" and gnome-terminal would be "Gnome-terminal" IIRC.
