docklike indicator

When I start a Lutris programme directly via  my icon in docklike, this icon does not get the indicator, instead it creates an additional temporary icon that becomes the indicator.

What can I do, that the icon I started with becomes the indicator after the start?

Her is how my *.desktop file looks like:

  [Desktop Entry]
Name=My Lutris Programme
Exec=lutris lutris:rungameid/3
Icon=/home/user/.local/share/icons/hicolor/32x32/apps/B888_sm17.0.png
Terminal=false
Type=Application
Categories=Education;
StartupWMClass=explorer.exe
Comment=
Path=
StartupNotify=true 

Here is the output of the command "$ xprop|grep WM_CLASS":

 
WM_CLASS(STRING) = "explorer.exe", "Wine"

So my expectation was, that the indicator would work, because my *.desktop file has the entry "StartupWMClass=explorer.exe" . See above.

What can I do? Thank you.
