When I launch an application locally via its .desktop
file, windows are grouped by Gnome.
When I use an identical file, but using ssh -X
in the Exec
line, to launch the application on a remote machine using X11 forwarding, the application runs fine, but Gnome doesn't group the application windows at all. This is very annoying.
My two problem applications in this regard are emacs and PyCharm. There is widespread advice to set StartupWMClass
in the .desktop
file, but this doesn't solve the problem.
Can anyone help, please?
