Bug Description
Start the application "xev". Move mouse over the panel. The pop-up text claims that the application's name is "Hud" even though the Window title is "Event tester".
This seems to happen with apps that are not Gtk and Qt. If you open several different applications, the panel will group them under the same icon, even though they are totally different.
Unity-2D shows the app name properly, but launching more than one app groups them under the same icon.
-------
Desired solution:
When a application window cannot be matched to a desktop file, the window's title should be used in place of the application name (in the top left of the menu bar)

I've seen similar instances when applications have been named "panel". Presumably the panel should show the title of the focused window if the desktop file doesn't provide a name (or should it? we need design input)
