Hi all, I'm using matplotlib-0.99.1 (with backend Qt4, I don't have Tk backends installed to compare there) on a netbook with Ubuntu netbook remix, which includes maximus, a window manager which maximizes screen usage on little screens. It chooses to maximize/not maximize new windows based upon their WM_CLASS. Since I don't want to maximize matplotlib figures, I add the matplotlib window WM_CLASS to an exclude list.
A quick check shows that matplotlib (or at least the Qt4 backend) doesn't set the WM_CLASS of its windows: > xprop | grep WM_CLASS # click on matplotlib figure WM_CLASS(STRING) = " ", " " I'm not that familiar with the innards of matplotlib, so I'm not sure if this is something that is possible to set in user-space, or if this is something missing from the backend. Ideally this would be set to something useful by matplotlib/the backend, but I'd settle for a quick way of setting it manually. Thanks for the advice!
