[Bug] App icon and window title incorrect under Wayland (shows Wayland logo and "python3") #172

Description

@metiane

Description:
Describe the bug
When running the application on a Wayland session, the taskbar icon displays the generic Wayland logo instead of the app's icon, and the window title/app name in the system panel appears as python3 instead of the expected application name (Sticky).

To Reproduce

Launch the app in a Linux desktop environment running Wayland.

Check the taskbar/panel icon and window title.

Expected behavior

The application should display its proper app icon in the taskbar.

The window title/application name in the panel/dock should display the app name (Sticky or Notas) instead of python3.

Possible Cause
The issue is likely due to missing desktop integration for Wayland (such as setting the desktop_file_name / app_id in Qt/GTK so Wayland can map the running process to its .desktop entry), especially if the app was primarily built/tested for X11 (e.g., Linux Mint/Cinnamon).

Desktop Environment / System Info:
OS: Cachy Os (Arch)
Desktop Environment: KDE Plasma
Display Server: Wayland
