Does your .desktop file specify your window WMCLASS and does your
Fltk application set that correctly?  Task Navigator needs this
information to be able to map the .desktop file contents to
the corresponding application window.

Here are e.g. instructions how you can do this in an SDL program:

In Fltk you might need to use a direct Xlib call to set that window 
property.
