Hi,
Although its a preference: some might want to tile the utility windows of a
program in a specific way, I think the idea makes sense.
Gimp also sets a WM_WINDOW_ROLE string:
WM_WINDOW_ROLE(STRING) = "gimp-toolbox-1"
Maybe this can be integrated into the applyrules() matching logic? Then it
would also be more flexible: tagging them, moving to a specific monitor using
the current logic.
As a workaround for Gimp, a few years ago it also gained a docked-window mode
where Gimp manages the utility windows.
Thanks,
