Dear Maintainer,

I'm using lxqt with openbox. I recently configured openbox to open some applications always in some desktops, i.e. I want Thunderbird to be opened always in desktop 4. This means that in my lxqt-rc.xml i have the following lines:

<applications>
	<application class="thunderbird">
		<desktop>4</desktop>
	</application>
</applications>

This works perfectly for openbox: if I start Thunderbird while I am in desktop 1, the window is opened in desktop 4, and if I switch to desktop 4, I can see it. The problem is that lxqt-panel is not showing the application in the task list.
If I start Thunderbird while I am in desktop 4, the application is shown in the Task Manager as expected.

In any case, it is possible to cycle applications with keybindings.
