There is no effect; the extra icon still appears.

I made another experiment -- I started pan from a terminal and added
its icon to the Clip at Workspace #1.  Then quit pan and tried to
start it again by double-clicking the icon -- it showed error "Cannot
execute the command org.gnome.pan" (translation approximate; I use
Bulgarian locale).  Not good.  I changed the path to "pan" and it
works, so there's an easy workaround.

Two other GTK programs that I regularly use (gnome-terminal and
evolution) have exactly the same problem but apparently I changed the
path in the settings long time ago and forgot.

Reassigning the bug as there's nothing to be fixed in pan; it is
merely following the advice to set application-id as documented in
GLib/GTK.  I also raise the severity to "normal" as ideally Window
Maker should not create docked applications that cannot be launched.
