Description

Test for mismatch between .desktop file and the WM_CLASS that the window reports and/or missing `QApplication::setWindowIcon()` (i.e., no icon on the dock)

We can find out which WM_CLASS your window has got when you type in a terminal: `xprop WM_CLASS` and then click at the window.

Some applications need this in the desktop file, like so:

```
StartupWMClass=discord
```
