New version 1.69 has missing `app_id` under wayland

See original GitHub issue

Does this issue occur when all extensions are disabled?: Yes

VS Code Version: 1.69.0
OS Version: Linux wayland backend

Steps to Reproduce:

Under any wayland desktop
Force wayland backend for vscode

$ cat ~/.config/code-flags.conf 
--enable-features=UseOzonePlatform
--ozone-platform=wayland

Any top level window under wayland is identified by app_id which used to be equal to “code” and now it is an empty string.

This bug is probably caused by switching to electron 18, https://github.com/electron/electron/issues/33578 app_id is the only real way to differentiate windows under wayland if you are using a tiling window manager and want to pin some applications to some workspaces.

Can confirm. When launching VS Code on Wayland with the --enable-features=UseOzonePlatform and --ozone-platform=wayland launch options the running app is displayed as a separate, unstyled app icon in my dock. This is still an issue in v1.69.2
