can't add KDE apps to GNOME dock

Bug description:
Hi,
I clean installed Ubuntu 18.04 yesterday and noticed I couldn't add
KDE apps to the GNOME dock. Basically, the "Add to Favorites" option
is missing from the right-click menu of dock icons of currently-
running KDE apps.
If I search for a KDE app using the "Show Applications" button, and
right-click on an app in the search results before running it, that
menu does contain "Add to Favorites". However, if this is used, the
added app behaves incorrectly, in that clicking on its icon in the
dock always launches a new instance rather than bringing any existing
instance to the front.
Previously I used Ubuntu 14.04 (with Unity) and KDE apps could be
added to the dock and managed as expected (i.e. clicking app icon when
app is running brought it to the front).
Some searching around suggests this might be related to missing
StartWMClass fields in the .desktop files of the KDE apps. I added
StartWMClass=kate to /usr/share/applications/org.kde.kate.desktop and
that seemed to fix the problem. However this didn't work for Konsole,
so there might be more to fixing this in general.
I think this is probably either a KDE bug (they need to correct all
their .desktop files?), a GNOME bug, or at the very least an Ubuntu-
level regression in the Unity->GNOME transition that may justify
taking action somewhere.
