Icon of IntelliJ in task-switcher.

I'm running Gnome (Wayland). I have IntelliJ installed. For some reason, for some time now, the icon on the task switcher is the "generic tool" icon

If I change the `.desktop` file stored in `/usr/share/applications/idea.desktop` from the default which is:

```
[Desktop Entry]
Version=1.0
Type=Application
Name=IntelliJ IDEA Community Edition
Comment=Develop with pleasure!
Exec=/usr/bin/idea %f
Icon=idea
Terminal=false
StartupNotify=true
StartupWMClass=jetbrains-idea-ce
Categories=Development;IDE;Java;
```

to instead:

```
[Desktop Entry]
Version=1.0
Type=Application
Name=IntelliJ IDEA Community Edition
Comment=Develop with pleasure!
Exec=/usr/bin/idea %f
Icon=idea
Terminal=false
StartupNotify=true
StartupWMClass=jetbrains-idea
Categories=Development;IDE;Java;
```

and then run `update-desktop-database ~/.local/share/applications` then the task-switcher icon is correct.

The icon in the dash is the right one all along though.

Any suggestions?
