Details:

Here is how to reproduce the akward behavior:
* use Windows (10 in my case)
* install Octave 5.1.0 (installer from Octave homepage)
* start Octave once, then close it again (to let it settle all kinds of
stuff)
* press the "Windows" button to show the start menu
* go to the starter for "Octave-5.1.0.0 (GUI)" in the start menu, and start
Octave with it
* Octave starts fine, and shows its icon in the Windows task bar.
* Now right click on this Octave icon in the task bar and choose "attach to
task bar".
* close Octave
* The (now attached) Octave icon will stay in the taks bar, it also looks
nice, all fine so far.
* NOW click onto this taskbar icon with the Octave logo
* Octave starts, alright
* BUT: The running Octave program now generatess a SECOND icon in the task bar
(still having the same nice Octave image)

This second Octave icon in the taks bar feels akward to me, and it eats up
some valuable space in my task bar. Can we recover Octave's nice behavior from
before?

This reminds me of bug #50428 but seems to be different (and new).
