--- Comment #17 from Eike Hein <[email protected]> --- Re this, > the time spent (lost) searching for the right window Note we've both provided examples of users losing time searching for the right window: The launcher -> app case, and the windows-with-different-icons case. The latter are still differenciated by window titles, but the former are not as launchers are shown sans title initially. It's also fairly uncommon for applications to have multiple persistent windows or instances these days, much less ones that actually set different window icons on them. I acknowledge your pathological case -- I just don't think it's correct to optimize for it given the many issues it brings, and the migration path to Wayland which would make it obsolete again. Plus it's fixable by app devs in other ways: Just like Chrome registers its web apps (but then gets the window metadata slightly wrong, requiring a fixup), so can VirtualBox register VMs. This also has a big advantage: When done this way, windows an automatically be pinned as launchers, because they have a proper identity. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
