    Description

      Right now it is not possible to add Qt Creator to favorites, because of this.
      It fails to match because desktop file has the name "org.qt-project.qtcreator.desktop", but window WM_CLASS is "qtcreator".

      Here is the relevant logic in the GNOME Shell source:
      https://github.com/GNOME/gnome-shell/blob/2ebac8c186e9a03574b116f737734eee3acb5c48/src/shell-window-tracker.c#L136

      Simply adding "StartupWMClass=qtcreator" to the .desktop file solves the problem.
