Begin by reproducing the game shortcut behavior on Ubuntu 18.04 with GNOME, then compare it with the reported Antergos and Manjaro KDE behavior and review related issues #1299 and #442. Done means game icons and titles display correctly across the affected distro and desktop-environment combinations.
