What am I missing?
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.
