Bug Description

Launcher for pan newsreader works intermittently. Pan icon (pan.png) appears normally but icon text reads "Top Extended Edge Panel" and clicking the icon hides and unhides gnome-panel instead, even if absolute path to executable is defined in the launcher.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Set GNOME main panel to autohide.

2. Install pan newsreader on Ubuntu 7.10 using default Ubuntu repositories.

3. Run awn-manager and create a launcher for pan newsreader. Use either program name of absolute path of /usr/bin/pan.

4. Application icon displays correctly. Save the launcher.

5. Restart awn.

6. Correct icon is displaied but hover text reads "Top Extended Range Panel" and clicking the icon raises and lowers GNOME's main panel.

Could you try dragging the Pan entry from the Ubuntu menu to the dock instead (if the entry exists)?

That worked - at least so far.

I've had the icon working before but it seemed to change all by itself.
When I first installed the launcher it worked once or twice and then
quit working. Reinstalling the launcher caused the same gnome-panel
thing.

Strange.

the window-matching code needs work, and will be looked at once more in the launcher rewrite planned for 0.2.8, so I'm targetting this for then.
