Only One Icon On The Ubuntu Launcher After Launching Program

    I have a program that I run, that uses mono to run a .NET program. I created a .desktop file and have an icon on my launcher for this program, but when I click on it and launch it, it creates another icon that is the same but there are two. I only want the one icon and the two little white indicators that show that the particular application is open.

    I've done this before but not with a program that runs using mono. Here is what my .desktop file looks like.

    [Desktop Entry]
    Name=RH
    Exec=/usr/bin/mono /home/sbt/.RH/RH.exe -home /home/sbt/.RH
    Type=Application
    StartupNotify=true
    Path=/home/sbt/.RH
    Icon=/home/sbt/.RH/rh.png
    MimeType=application/sla;text/gcode;application/wavefront-obj;application/x-amf;


    How can I make it so that this icon doesn't create a duplicate when I open the program?

    That's how it started with me until I learned how to use it. I wouldn't change.

    I assume -home /home/sbt/.RH triggers the application to see if there's already a shortcut and recreates it if not


    *actually I misread that, maybe not
