Ubuntu – Can I integrate the gmail ubuntu webapp with a google apps domain

With daily chromium builds and recent BAMF you can (if you look closer to that screenshot, you can see an example with my site and high-res icon). But in the current state of chromium you need to do some hacking to make it support this easily:

• Make chromium generate a .desktop file for the application Menu too (if you don't want you to create one by scratch).
• Get your chromium app window WM_CLASS with xprop | grep WM_CLASS | awk '{print $4}' (if it's just "Chromium Browser" or something similar you need to update chromium).

• Edit that .desktop file (located into ~/.local/share/applications) with gedit or any other text editor; the file should contain:

  StartupWMClass=$APP_WM_CLASS_Found_on_step_2
  Icon=~/your/icon/file/name/or/path
  

  i.e. (for an app pointing to http://mail.google.com with google_mail.png in ~/.local/share/icons):

  StartupWMClass=mail.google.com
  Icon=google_mail.png
  

• Restart bamfdaemon or unity at all; now when you'll run an application with that WM_CLASS the settings defined in the desktop file you've just edited will be used; icon included ;)

So from the big story above:

Try to launch Chromium from the console ($ /snap/chromium/1123/usr/lib/chromium-browser/chrome) and see if you can create working webapp shortcuts then. In my case, this fixed everything. If not, at least the console will hopefully give you a hint on what's going on.

Edit: apparently it's a big hit-and-miss game, as per this bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/chromium-browser/+bug/1732482

Please indicate on Launchpad that you're affected by this bug to increase the heat and hopefully have it fixed faster.
