Description
The linux keybase client does not seem to set the EWMH property _NET_WM_ICON, which is how many applications display information about open windows:
https://specifications.freedesktop.org/wm-spec/wm-spec-latest.html#idm140200472568384
It would be great if keybase started setting it, so that the keybase application window could more easily be identified.
