Frakcool's questions

After trying the answers in this question: How to start an app with "Always On Top" set?, specially the one in the comments by @MichaelTunnell:

This is the best option for me because I can create a bash script or a keyboard shortcut (which I did) using this command and that way I can use it when I need it but not when I don't. I did make a change though...I wanted a shortcut to turn always on top for the active window and only when I needed so here is my command. wmctrl -r :ACTIVE: -b toggle,above

I was able to toggle always on top in Ubuntu 16.10 or below, but not on Ubuntu 17.10 which is the one I have installed right now and would like to have this same shortcut

I have also tried this post which is basically a more detailed post of the comment of Michael Tunnell: Keyboard shortcut for always on top Ubuntu

The shortcut can be seen in the image below and it works for setting the window Always-on-top to True, but even if I use the same command again to "turn it off", I can't get the active application to remove that property.

Is this a bug in GNOME Ubuntu 17.10? Or am I missing any extra configuration in this particular version?

This question is related to this one: Ubuntu 16.04 Eclipse launcher icon problems, however I have installed Eclipse and STS.

I have created a .desktop file for each of them, basically just copy-pasting and changing the paths for them. My Eclipse IDE icon is showing but STS isn't, here's a SS showing what I mean:

Here are both of my .desktop files:

Eclipse.desktop:

[Desktop Entry]
Type=Application
Name=eclipse
Comment=Eclipse IDE
Icon=/app/tools/eclipse/eclipse/icon.xpm
Exec=/app/tools/eclipse/eclipse/eclipse
Terminal=false
Categories=Development;IDE;Java;
StartupWMClass=eclipse

STS.desktop:

[Desktop Entry]
Type=Application
Name=STS
Comment=Spring Tool Suite
Icon=/app/tools/spring-tool-suite-3.9.1.RELEASE-e4.7.1a-linux-gtk-x86_64/sts-bundle/sts-3.9.1.RELEASE/icon.xpm
Exec=/app/tools/spring-tool-suite-3.9.1.RELEASE-e4.7.1a-linux-gtk-x86_64/sts-bundle/sts-3.9.1.RELEASE/STS
Terminal=false
Categories=Development;IDE;Java;
StartupWMClass=STS

As you can see, both of them are practically identical except for the paths and names.

I made both of them following the accepted answer in this question: How to pin Eclipse to the Unity launcher?

Something curious is that if I use the "search" option, I can see the app with the icon but not on the Launcher, how to solve this? So I can pin it to the Dock?

While I'm familiar with Ubuntu, I've used it on 16.04 and earlier versions and it "automagically" showed the icon for me when downloaded and installed, so this was something strange for me this time.
