 When you have the "usual" and the hardened version of Tor Browser
 installation installed "side by side" (= on the same machine) GNOME often
 confuses them (and displays the wrong title, ...) and the UX is pretty bad
 as one cannot really be sure what version is executed right now.

 Fortunately the way to solve this is easy: The hardened Tor Browser
 version should use a different class than the usual one. So just change
 these classes in "start-tor-browser" (and of course all `StartupWMClass`es
 too).
