spyder.desktop doesn't contain WMClass variable for grouping windows #8290

Desktop file delivered by Spyder after installation doesn't contain an entry for 'StartupWMClass'. In Ubuntu 18.04 & Gnome 3.28 it causes to grouping new instances of Spyder apart Spyder icon on dash. (the effect is two Spyder icon on Dash)

Adding entry StartupWMClass=Spyder to spyder.desktop file solve this issue. Could you try to update the desktop file in the new release of spyder (for example 3.3.2)

The issue is caused by the desktop entry say "Spyder3" but running instance window is called "Spyder" (tested by xprop WM_CLASS)
