[ubuntu-mono] [Bug 1725445] [NEW] 17.10 gnome icons don't reflect/use existing open windows in certain applications

[Paul Tichy]

Public bug reported:

In Ubuntu 17.10 using ubuntu or gnome desktop, certain application icons
do not work properly.  Specifically unpinned apps don't appear in Docky
(gedit), once launched, open app indicator icons do not appear (gedit,
libreoffice writer, calc, GIMP).  If one of these applications is
opened, clicking on the icon in docky launches a new instance rather
than switching to an existing instance.  Changing back to unity desktop
resolves the issue.

I attempted several workarounds, including deleting and readding icons
to dock, uninstalling and reinstalling Docky.  No luck with any.
Verified on four other computers from different manufacturers.
Consistent problem that appears to be application-specific.  For
example, Firefox appears to work properly.
