I've pondered long and hard during the weekend over this, and I
believe that the best thing is to somehow extend the IconManagers
syntax to allow grouping of windows into different icon managers, and
have named icon managers to boot.

A syntax I'm currently thinking of is lines starting with the keyword
Named, like this:

IconManagers {
    # one-window syntax
    Named "Icon Manager Name" "=geom" columns    "winname" ["iconname"]
    # multi-window syntax
    Named "Icon Manager Name" "=geom" columns    {
        "winname1" ["iconname1"]
        "winname2" ["iconname2"]
        "winname3" ["iconname3"]
    }
    # The following just to show that the current syntax is possible
    # to mix in:
    "winname4" ["iconname4"]  "=geom" columns
}


And I'm thinking that it should be possible to have the same icon
manager named several times, so one can define one icon manager using
several one-window syntax lines or one multi-window syntax blob.

Thoughts?
