Research direction

Reproduce the issue with the linked Double Commander AppImage, then investigate Cinnamon's window-icon handling as exercised by opening and closing the F3/F4 editor. Compare the panel and Alt+Tab icons before and after the editor closes; done means each window retains its own icon in both places.
