Bug Description

Package freefilesync installs /usr/bin/FreeFileSync and /usr/bin/freefilesync is a symlink to FreeFileSync

If you launch the programme from the command line with freefilesync the icon will be the default system wheel icon and not the icon of the app.

If using FreeFileSync icon is the one of the app as expected.

Btw: There is no such problem on KDE. Icon is always correct in the taskbar.

Sounds like gnome-shell/mutter is failing to honour the _NET_WM_ICON property, although perhaps that would only be possible in Xorg sessions.

Regardless, please run:

  apport-collect 2003611

to provide more system information.
