Describe the bug
When running the application on a Wayland session, the taskbar icon displays the generic Wayland logo instead of the app's icon, and the window title/app name in the system panel appears as python3 instead of the expected application name (Sticky).
To Reproduce
Launch the app in a Linux desktop environment running Wayland.
Check the taskbar/panel icon and window title.
Expected behavior
The application should display its proper app icon in the taskbar.
The window title/application name in the panel/dock should display the app name (Sticky or Notas) instead of python3.
Possible Cause
The issue is likely due to missing desktop integration for Wayland (such as setting the desktop_file_name / app_id in Qt/GTK so Wayland can map the running process to its .desktop entry), especially if the app was primarily built/tested for X11 (e.g., Linux Mint/Cinnamon).
Desktop Environment / System Info:
OS: Cachy Os (Arch)
Desktop Environment: KDE Plasma
Display Server: Wayland

Research direction
No source file or test is named. First reproduce the issue by launching Sticky in a KDE Plasma Wayland session and inspect how the application configures its desktop integration, including the desktop_file_name or app_id mentioned in the report. Done means the taskbar shows the app icon and the panel identifies the application as Sticky or Notas rather than python3.
