fedora-desktop-wmclass-fix

fedora-desktop-wmclass-fix is a skill for Claude Code from rhtevan/agentfs. It costs 33 tokens per session (1,752 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A Fedora desktop repair tool for matching Electron applications to their launcher icons on GNOME and Wayland. It checks the StartupWMClass value in .desktop files against the application's window identifier.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to audit installed Electron apps, find StartupWMClass mismatches, and fix the affected desktop files.
Why use it?
A missing or incorrectly capitalized value can make GNOME show a duplicate generic taskbar or dock icon instead of the pinned launcher icon.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

fedora-desktop-wmclass-fix scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 4d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/wmclass-audit.sh), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Fedora Desktop WMClass Fix

Audit and fix StartupWMClass mismatches in .desktop files for Electron apps on Fedora/GNOME/Wayland. When StartupWMClass is missing or uses the wrong case, GNOME cannot match a running window to its pinned launcher icon, causing a duplicate generic icon to appear on the taskbar (Window List) or dock. This skill detects the problem across all installed Electron apps and can fix them automatically.

Prerequisites

  • Fedora with GNOME desktop on Wayland
  • One or more Electron apps installed (e.g., Goose, VS Code, Slack, Obsidian, Hermes)

Background: The Lowercase Convention

Electron apps on Wayland register their app-id using the lowercase binary name (derived from the name field in package.json or the executable filename). GNOME matches running windows to .desktop files using this app-id against the StartupWMClass field.

Binary Name Wayland app-id Required StartupWMClass
Goose goose goose
Hermes hermes hermes
Code code code

When StartupWMClass is missing, wrong-cased (e.g., Goose instead of goose), or absent entirely, GNOME shows:

  1. The pinned launcher icon (from favorites) — no running indicator
  2. A separate generic icon on the taskbar for the running window

This is a recurring problem because app reinstalls or updates often overwrite the system .desktop file with a default that lacks StartupWMClass or uses the original (wrong-cased) value.

Steps

  1. Audit all Electron apps (dry-run)

    Scan all .desktop files and report which Electron apps have missing or mismatched StartupWMClass:

    bash ~/.agents/skills/fedora-desktop-wmclass-fix/scripts/wmclass-audit.sh
    
  2. Audit a specific app

    Check a single app by name (the .desktop basename without extension):

    bash ~/.agents/skills/fedora-desktop-wmclass-fix/scripts/wmclass-audit.sh --app Goose

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
