gimp.desktop has incorrect StartupWMClass

Description:

The app now returns: WM_CLASS(STRING) = "gimp", "Gimp"

The .desktop file has the wrong StartupWMClass. It needs to be updated to "gimp" or "Gimp" instead of "gimp-3.0" for theme icons to load correctly.

Additional info:

  • package version(s): latest

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Install the gimp package
  2. Open the gimp
  3. Notice the icon is really pixelated and terrible.
  4. Run xprop and click a gimp window.
  5. Notice it returns "gimp" or "Gimp" as the WM_CLASS.
