I got this bug too, this happen when the application uses a startup script, and the binary is in another place outside of the user PATH I was thinking about it, the Unity uses *.desktop files as reference for applications should we start thinking about using it too ? instead of using WMHINTS, I think we should get closer to the freedesktop model and use the *. desktop.
