"Which is probably reasonable and seems to follow the standard" I was thinking the exacte opposite :-) If the goal is to have a window that is considered as another application (than chromium), then the WM_CLASS should be set to something else. As we can see, the WM_CLASS is still "Chromium". The window name (the first string) is used to distinguish between instances of the same app, but we precisely don't want to consider a web app as a chromium process (if I'm understanding correctly the goal). Now, we (all WM and dock-like programs) are forced to make a special-case code, and swap window name and class name :-/
This seems like a hack to me, but well, I guess we don't have choice here. So ok for applying your patch (and thank you very much for providing it by the way ;-) ) 2013/10/22 Jay Schmidek <[email protected]> > Chromium sets the class of the window to the name of the browser and the > window instance name to the specific app. Which is probably reasonable and > seems to follow the standard, so I think it unlikely that they would be > willing to change the behavior. > > Application shortcuts look like this btw: > WM_CLASS(STRING) = "mail.google.com__mail_u_0", "Chromium" > > Gnome Shell and Unity properly handle this already. > In BAMF they have a special case for web app windows: > http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~unity-team/bamf/trunk/view/head:/src/bamf-matcher.c#L1489 > > -- > > https://code.launchpad.net/~shim/cairo-dock-core/special-case-class-for-chromium-apps/+merge/191898 > You are requested to review the proposed merge of > lp:~shim/cairo-dock-core/special-case-class-for-chromium-apps into > lp:cairo-dock-core. > -- https://code.launchpad.net/~shim/cairo-dock-core/special-case-class-for-chromium-apps/+merge/191898 Your team Cairo-Dock Devs is requested to review the proposed merge of lp:~shim/cairo-dock-core/special-case-class-for-chromium-apps into lp:cairo-dock-core. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~cairo-dock-team Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~cairo-dock-team More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
