Currently our heuristics for matching a window to its app check for the application ID before the WM_CLASS, as the ID is more reliable in so far that it is outside the application's control and so it cannot use it to spoof a different application. However this also prevents applications with multiple .desktop files like LibreOffice from matching any .desktop files other than the one under the main ID. Since we now no longer allow the WM_CLASS to match a .desktop file that doesn't belong to the sandboxed application, we can fix that issue by checking the WM_CLASS first, without opening the door to spoofing. https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/issues/219
