Because I want to know that this is window created by just spawned
process. I do not know how to pass information to manage hook. Is it
possible?
Maybe I should describe what I want to achive:
Simple example:
I want to spawn xterm and add tittle bar to it (but only to this
xterm, not to all xterms).
Complex example:
I want to bind the following action to win+i:
if "im_irssi" does not exists:
if "im_tag" does not exists create "im_tag"
switch to im_tag
spawn xterm with irssi
else switch to im_tag and raise xterm with irssi on top
and bind the following action to win+e:
if "im_ekg2" does not exists:
if "im_tag" does not exists create "im_tag"
switch to im_tag
spawn xterm with ekg2
else switch to im_tag and raise xterm with ekg2 on top
so I want to create two variables im_irssi and im_ekg2, because I
want to know with client to raise.
