[WORKAROUND] Chromium PWA icons not showing in the taskbar

Since this, Chromium stopped showing PWA icons on the Plasma desktop environment. Since my account wasn't approved to post on GitLab yet, I implemented a workaround by removing StartupWMClass from the chromium.desktop file.

/etc/pacman.d/hooks/chromium.hook

[Trigger]
Type = Package
Operation = Upgrade
Target = chromium

[Action]
Description = Removing StartupWMClass from chromium.desktop...
When = PostTransaction
Exec = /usr/bin/sed -i '/^StartupWMClass=/d' /usr/share/applications/chromium.desktop

Google Chrome (AUR) works without removing StartupWMClass. I don't know why.
