(Cc'ed the hlwm mailinglist because of [2]) First of all, I hope this is also the right place to ask questions, rather than developemnt of the wm-spec -- if not, I'd be glad if someone directed me to the right place.
While developing a Qt application, I noticed some bugs regarding to window title handling [1][2][3]. It seems the Qt toolkit only sets _NET_WM_NAME and doesn't set WM_NAME at all. Now that raises some questions: - Should a client also set WM_NAME when setting _NET_WM_NAME? Sure, it's a good idea for backwards-compatiblity, but is it warranted to open a bug against Qt? (I'd say yes, but I'd like to hear other opinions). - Should a window manager which implements EWMH act correctly when a client sets _NET_WM_NAME but not WM_NAME? (see [2]) - Should a client reading other client's titles respect _NET_WM_NAME (see [3] - it probably *should* but doesn't *have to*, right?)
