But I get your point. 2) The "[<vm>]" part of the window title is not actually part of the WM_NAME property. It's the WM_CLIENT_MACHINE property. But as long as you can match on that, it makes it even easier to write rules. You can see it with xprop: [user@dom0 ~]$ xprop -id 0x1614d7d | grep -i 'Dom0' WM_CLIENT_MACHINE(STRING) = "dom0" WM_ICON_NAME(STRING) = "Terminal - user@dom0:~" _NET_WM_ICON_NAME(UTF8_STRING) = "Terminal - user@dom0:~" WM_NAME(STRING) = "Terminal - user@dom0:~" _NET_WM_NAME(UTF8_STRING) = "Terminal - user@dom0:~" Interestingly, I don't actually see a property equal to the full titlebar of the window, so I guess that's constructed by the window manager. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
