[Locked] Mix applis and launchers

Hello everybody,
I've just installed Cairo-dock, and it works almost out-of-the-box, but I'm having some trouble with the "Mix applis and launchers" option. For some launchers it still generates the additional icons when executed:

-Mozilla Thunderbird
-Prism shortcuts to a webpage (the command is "/opt/firefox/firefox" -app "~/.mozilla/firefox/l39v2sp0.default/extensions/refractor@developer.mozilla.org/prism/application.ini" -override "~/.webapps/gmail@prism.app/override.ini" -webapp gmail@prism.app, for example).

Any idea about what is the problem?

My version is 2.0.9-karmic1 running on Ubuntu Karmic.

Thank you.

first of all consider upgrading to the current stable version
then about your problem, you have to fill the class of the launcher for tuhnderbird ("thunderbird-bin" I think) in the launcher's config panel.

Great, it's fixed! But now I have a new doubt... As I said, I have several shortcuts (Gmail, Google Reader) defined with Prism, so they are opened in separated windows of a very light version of Firefox. But the "class" is the same for both of them (Prism). So if I open Gmail, for example, both icons get the "launched" indicator, and I cannot open a Reader instance...

Any idea? Thank you!

doesn't Prism have tabs ?
in your case you may want to prevent the other launchers to mix with the application (in the launcher's config), so that you don't have to shift+click to launch them.
there is no other rule than the class to identify a program.
