Hi

I am using gnus and emacs and to avoid that gnus is blocking my emacs
session, I run them in two different instances. Now I would like to have
mu "normal" emacs in an "emacs" named tag, and emacs/gnus in the "mail"
tag.

The emacs one works, but when I open the new instance of emacs for gnus via

"emacs --name Mail --title Mail --no-desktop --no-splash --funcall gnus "

It starts in the "emacs" tag but not in the "mail" tag.

These tags are configured as follow (and the "emacs" rule comes after
the "mail" rule):

mail = {
        layout    = awful.layout.suit.tile,
        mwfact    = 0.55,
        exclusive = false,
        position  = 2,
        screen    = 1,
        spawn     = env.email,
        slave     = true
     },
emacs = {
        layout   = awful.layout.suit.tile,
        position = 9,
        screen    = 1,
        slave    = false,
        spawn    = ec,
        exclusive = false,
     },

The applcation matching rules are (again the emacs rule after the Mail rule):
 
     {
        match = {
           "Mail",
           "Shredder.*",
           "Thunderbird",
           "Thunderbird*",
           "thunderbird",
           "mutt",
           "Zimbra Desktop",
           "Zimbra*",
           "Pan"
        },
        tag = "mail",
     },
{
        match = {
           "emacs@ecolmod",
           "Emacs",
        },
        tag = "emacs"
     },

The output from xprop is for emacs/gnus:

NC_REQUEST
WM_CLASS(STRING) = "Mail", "Emacs"
WM_ICON_NAME(STRING) = "Mail"
_NET_WM_ICON_NAME(UTF8_STRING) = "Mail"
WM_NAME(STRING) = "Mail"
_NET_WM_NAME(UTF8_STRING) = "Mail"

and for the "normal" emacs

WM_CLASS(STRING) = "emacs", "Emacs"
WM_ICON_NAME(STRING) = "emacs@ecolmod"
_NET_WM_ICON_NAME(UTF8_STRING) = "emacs@ecolmod"
WM_NAME(STRING) = "emacs@ecolmod"
_NET_WM_NAME(UTF8_STRING) = "emacs@ecolmod"

Is there any way (apart from re-compiling emacs and giving it a
different name) that I can force the emacs/gnus instance to go to the
"mail" tag?

I just restarted awesome, and it still dioes not create the "mail" tag
and puts the emacs'gnus session there.

What am I missing?
