Comment #7 on issue 20587 by [email protected]: Window class for web apps should be different from browser window http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=20587
I am all for using whichever method is most-supported by window managers. :-P http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg01549.html is a message from an FVWM developer stating that Pidgin is wrong to use WM_WINDOW_ROLE for anything beyond distinguishing between the different roles that windows within a particular instance of an app can take. The Pidgin wiki page referred to in that message doesn't appear to exist, so I don't know the Pidgin authors' reasoning or what exactly they were doing. Setting WM_CLASS to something like ("chrome", "gmail-com") doesn't seem appropriate either, at least with a literal reading of the ICCCM (http://tronche.com/gui/x/icccm/sec-4.html#WM_CLASS), which states that the second string in WM_CLASS "names the general class of applications to which the client that owns this window belongs". Maybe something like ("google-chrome-app-gmail-com", "Google-chrome") would make sense, though. (Sorry, I don't have enough experience with the history of this to know what various window managers expect to see in these properties.) -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.
