I'm using Ubuntu 17.10 with GNOME shell and Numix-Circle icon theme.

When I hover over the Numix icon for Nightly Web Browser, which is pinned to the dock I get the title "Nightly Web Browser".

But when I launch the program, another icon pops up at the bottom, with the name "Nightly".

You need to add a proper StartupWMClass line to the .desktop launcher corresponding to the application (refer to this). Follow these steps:

1. Open Files and go to your /usr/share/applications folder. Look for the "Nightly" file (i.e. the launcher for the application you want to fix) and copy it.


2. Paste the file in ~/.local/share/applications. It should look like a file with the name <filename>.desktop.


3. Right click on this .desktop file and open with Text Editor.


4. Launch "Nightly" (i.e. the application you want to fix) from "Activities".


5. Run xprop WM_CLASS in Terminal.


6. Place the cursor over the opened "Nightly" window. The cursor should turn into a crosshair already. Click. You should get a WM_CLASS string for "Nightly" in Terminal.


7. 
   

   In the .desktop file opened in Text Editor and add the following line

   
   
   

   StartupWMClass=OBTAINED-VALUE
   

   
   
   

   In place of OBTAINED-VALUE put a value you got from step 6 without any quotes.

   
   


8. Save the .desktop file.

  @AlekseyDeryagin In step 6, I got WM_CLASS: not found. As the misbehaving application was kile and the name of the file org.kde.kile.desktop, I just added the line StartupWMClass=kile and it works. My wild guess is that the last full-stop separated part of the filename (right before .desktop) should match the StartupWMClass value.
