Missing Unity launcher icons in Ubuntu 12.10

Hi,

I was missing icons in the Unity launcher (Ubuntu 12.10) for every application Crossover 11.3.0. I did some research and ended up in Bug 702452 of the Unity 2D project (even though I am running Unity in 3D). Turns out my issue is solved in the comment #16 !

In short, here is what I did :

1- Open a menu entry in $HOME/.local/share/applications (lets say cxmenu[...]-Notepad^2B^2B.desktop)
2- Added those two lines at the end of the file :```
StartupNotify=true
StartupWMClass=notepad++.exe


3- Saved, and it was done. I think the Unity Launcher is even dynamically reloading the icon.

Just replace notepad++.exe with the executable that your desktop file is launching. I did not tested case sensitivity of the EXE file name but I presume it is necessary. For instance, I entered "StartupWMClass=WINWORD.EXE". I do not have any idea about why or how this works. I am just leaving this here for anybody who might have this issue.
