FreeRDP Some RemoteApps don't show their Icon in the Taskbar

Describe the bug When using Remote Apps, some apps like Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop don't have their icons in the Linux host taskbar when launched while others like Microsoft Excel and Word do. This makes application management difficult for me since I can't maximize them if I ever minimize them.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

On Windows Guest ungroup programs in the taskbar (I'm not sure if this does anything but I'll mark this anyways)
In the Linux Host terminal run xfreerdp /u:[user] /p:[pass] /app:"C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop 2021\Photoshop.exe" /v:[ip] to launch Photoshop (or any other problematic application)
The application starts as expected but its icon doesn't show in the Linux Host taskbar

Expected behavior For the icon to show in the taskbar that allows me to minimize, maximize, etc.

Screenshots I've attached two screen shots. One with Photoshop which shows the problem I'm trying to describe (the taskbar at the bottom lacks the Photoshop icon) and another with Word which shows the expected behaviour (there's the Word icon in the taskbar) Screenshot_1 Screenshot_2

@SoumyBhow do you have the chance to try this with current master?

I've replaced freerdp with freerdp-git from the AUR which from my understanding compiles and installs master but it didn't solve my issue.

In Cairo-Dock, RemoteApp Outlook starts with an icon, but than the icon gets replaces with a grey block and a question mark as it now detects a "rail:somenumber" applicaton. When I a set a custom icon, then it somehow magically returns the Outlook icon (not the custom icon). Maybe it has something to to with the switch to the "rail" part.
