I have a patch for this that restores the original WM_CLASS that would have been set with 14.10 by passing it to gnome-terminal-server.

These options are listed with gnome-terminal --help as general gtk+ options. They should set the WM_CLASS property of the terminal window, so window managers can manage properties of individual windows separately. The WM_CLASS property can be displayed with the xprop command. Example: # gnome-terminal & # xprop WM_CLASS (point the cursor on the terminal window) WM_CLASS(STRING) = "gnome-terminal-server", "Gnome-terminal" # gnome-terminal --disable-factory --name foo --class bar & # xprop WM_CLASS WM_CLASS(STRING) = "gnome-terminal-server", "Gnome-terminal" Here is how it should be: # gnome-terminal & # xprop WM_CLASS WM_CLASS(STRING) = "gnome-terminal-server", "Gnome-terminal" #gnome-terminal --disable-factory --class foo --name bar # xprop WM_CLASS WM_CLASS(STRING) = "bar", "foo" To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-terminal/+bug/1453991/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
