What's the problem? Describe what went wrong.

When you pin dolphin to the taskbar and open it, it does not use the same placement, It instead shows up twice instead of one. It also will not let you pin it when you right click on the app and try pinning. Any other flatpak application doesn't have this issue.

What steps will reproduce the problem?

Pin dolphin to your taskbar, try to open it and it duplicates another app instead

Is the issue present in the latest development version? For future reference, please also write down the version number of the latest development version.

Dolphin 2606-300

Is the issue present in the latest release? For future reference, please also write down the version number of the latest release.

Yes, Dolphin 2606a

If the issue isn't present in the latest release, which is the first broken version? (You can find the first broken version by bisecting. Windows users can use the tool https://forums.dolphin-emu.org/Thread-green-notice-development-thread-unofficial-dolphin-bisection-tool-for-finding-broken-builds and anyone who is building Dolphin on their own can use git bisect.)

[First broken version number here (if applicable)]

If your issue is a graphical issue, please attach screenshots and record a three frame fifolog of the issue if possible. Screenshots showing what it is supposed to look like from either console or older builds of Dolphin will help too. For more information on how to use the fifoplayer, please check here: https://wiki.dolphin-emu.org/index.php?title=FifoPlayer

[Attach any fifologs if possible, write a description of fifologs and screenshots here to assist people unfamiliar with the game.]

What are your PC specifications? (CPU, GPU, Operating System, more)
Ryzen 7 7700X
AMD RX 9070
Arch Linux

Is there anything else that can help developers narrow down the issue? (e.g. logs, screenshots,
configuration files, savefiles, savestates)

This is with the latest Flatpak on the website, Not the unofficial flathub app. Also, I'm not running windows 7, it's just a theme. My friend on another distro running KDE has the same dolphin issue.
