Hi,
cwm uses application "name" and "class", ("xterm", "XTerm")
respectively. WM_NAME can change at any point, for example the title of
a web page can change WN_NAME on a browser window, and a shell can
change WM_NAME while doing something, and so forth; really it's the
"title". This is not a value on which we base grouping. It might be
confusing that the atom is named WM_NAME while WM_CLASS includes app
name and class, which are different properties.
Hope that's more clear.
Cheers,
Okan
