What is the property that determines the window class, as seen by the WM / xorg?

I'm asking for the purpose of grouping: I'd like to be able to have distinct
groups of windows that the WM will group independently of one another.

As an example, looking at the easter/holydays example, if I use KDE3's edit
window-specific settings dialog I can detect window properties. It shows me

Class: Holyday (holyday Holyday)

and some other stuff. My assumption is that the class is used by the WM to
determine which windows are grouped together.

"Client to Window Manager Commmunication" is documented here:
http://tronche.com/gui/x/icccm/sec-4.html

MSEgui additionally uses the WM_CLIENT_LEADER property, see lib/common/i386-linux/mseguiintf.pas, gui_createwindow().
