With all due respect, that assertion does not seem to be true.  As I said, I 
started with a .desktop that worked.  That is, the application shows the 
correct icons both in the menu and the navigator bar.  It is only when I 
modified the .desktop by having it start my program instead of the 
application for which it was designed that the icon in the navigator bar 
reverted to the default.  The .desktop file did not have a StartupWMClass 
specification when it worked, so I did not put one in (although I had 
previously tried it, without effect).  The WM Class specifications seem to 
match anyway.
