Title:
  WM_CLASS needs to match .desktop file name

Status in “emacs23” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: emacs23

  emacs ships an emacs.desktop file, but the Debian source package uses
  its own emacsVER.desktop file.

  Unfortunately, this messes up libraries like the shell application
  trackers and bamf that use WM_CLASS as a basis for the application.

  This is fixable by renaming the desktop file, setting the EMACS_CLASS
  #define to be "Emacs23", or setting it through the 'x-resource-class
  variable in emacs lisp.
