I mean any name with a possible wildcards that Style accepts: window name, class or resource. As reported by FvwmIdent for example. You can't automate a proper discovering of this name/pattern given the executable name unless there is a central database of all application window names.

You still didn't say which application shows a problem for you. I just happened to run konqueror to test how a site looks in it and it opened a dialog window (transient) on the same desk where the konqueror itself runs when I was on another desk.
