--- Comment #4 from Eike Hein <h...@kde.org> --- The idea is to identify applications, and the application id is what the second string in WM_CLASS (i.e. the "class" in ICCCM parlance) corresponds to. If this is to be Hangouts and not Google Chrome, then it should say so in that part of WM_CLASS. This is an opinionated take based on what most apps on the platform actually do - as in, if we change the order other things will break instead since a lot of apps end up putting random crap into the instance part of WM_CLASS. I've even seen window titles in there, and then your taskbar ends up resorting based on the website you're viewing, ... there's never an easy victory. Chrome (and Chrome web apps in particular) is an app we end up somehow fixing at least once a year when they pull some new random foolhardery - it's high in my personal charts for most ill-behaved Linux desktop app. The rewrite rules can swap instance for class, though, iirc. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
