Description William Jon McCann 2011-06-21 16:42:48 UTC 
http://git.gnome.org/browse/gucharmap/commit/?id=c101952b56e6392fdefa10b914df93ddbcc90ec0

There are a couple symbolic links for the executable. This is problematic for application tracking. See https://live.gnome.org/GnomeShell/ApplicationBased .

It is also very strange.

Though honestly I kinda like the charmap name better than gucharmap...
Comment 2 Christian Persch 2011-06-21 21:53:51 UTC 
I guess just calling g_set_prgname() explicitly before gtk_init_with_args() would fix it?
Comment 3 Christian Persch 2011-09-12 19:35:59 UTC 
Any response to comment 2 ?

It should, yes.  Make it match the .desktop filename: https://live.gnome.org/GnomeShell/ApplicationBased
Comment 5 Christian Persch 2011-09-13 11:15:55 UTC 
Should be fixed on master.
