Those that ask what to do with a file and are not marked as transients?
Unfortunately a good kludge can not be written because the WM_CLASS
propertly is totally uninformative, WM_WINDOW_ROLE is missing and the
title doesn't help much either.

It is sadly quite common these days to forget to set these properties
to anything usefull. Some apps that previously set them no longer do
so, making Ion's life even harder than before. All the properties for 
all the windows are just set to the executable name if anything -- 
totally useless information.

I'm anxiously waiting for the day when gnome/kde prople finish their 
work of replacing the final remaining things that make unix so nice 
with Windows notions, refusing to work under a window manager and 
instead opting for the apps to manage their windows.
