Bug description

The desktop file provided by Nemo does not contain the StartupWMClass attribute. This prevents applications such as the plank dock from associating its launcher with currently opened windows, creating a second icon instead.

Steps to reproduce

Install nemo
Install plank
Pin nemo to plank
Open new nemo windows
Note that plank creates separate icons instead of associating nemo with the pinned icon

Expected behavior

Plank docks and other apps should associate and group opened windows with their respective launchers.

Additional information

This can be fixed by adding the following to Nemo's desktop file

StartupWMClass="Nemo"
