At that time, that would have still been inconsistent because I had
much more tabs. But currently, with the experimental version (39-1),
this corresponds to the number of tabs. The title of one tab (not
necessarily the foreground tab) is written, with a bad encoding
(ISO-8859-1 instead of UTF-8). Actually it seems that some particular
tab titles (those with non-ISO-8859-1 characters?) cannot be listed;
in such a case, either the title doesn't appear or the title of the
previous tab is written. The conditions seem to be similar to the
following old bug in fvwm:

  http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=339586

So, the reason may be the same: perhaps lsw takes WM_NAME into account
instead of _NET_WM_NAME.

Concerning gromit, there isn't a window either. Or perhaps it creates
some form of invisible window (since its goal is to write something on
the screen, above the other windows). With the experimental version,
gromit appears twice.

The xterm windows are still not listed with the experimental version.
