Only with GTK3. GTK2 is fine as well.

If a missing feature, that is present on a slightly different platform, is a
bug. Itʼs not necessary a bug in Emacs, though. Maybe, besides declaring a
ability to set a window class deprecated [1], GTK developers had actually
broken it.

<https://developer.gnome.org/gtk3/stable/GtkWindow.html#gtk-window-set-wmclass>:
| gtk_window_set_wmclass has been deprecated since version 3.22 and
should not be used in newly-written code.

| Don’t use this function. It sets the X Window System “class” and “name” hints
for a window. According to the ICCCM, you should always set these to the same
value for all windows in an application, and GTK+ sets them to that value by
default, so calling this function is sort of pointless. However, you may want
to call gtk_window_set_role() on each window in your application, for the
benefit of the session manager. Setting the role allows the window manager to
restore window positions when loading a saved session.
