no it's worse: it makes the part which I wanted to fix impossible. Which would mean that: a) I scratch what I wanted to fix b) willfully break the spec c) add a KDE specific additional property to get what I wanted in the first place > but I think your original intent is > unrealisable: you will either have many apps that provide nothing at > all, which is fine! This is an optional flag. It's not a requirement. The proposal (after Thomas update) will say that the window MUST NOT specify the desktop file if it doesn't know it. If it cannot be matched to a desktop file: that's fine. > or you will have some apps that provide something other than the > desktop file name. This would be a clear violation of the spec. Adding a requirement to add DBus to it, will not fix windows ignoring the spec and passing in wrong data. > > This is the same problem as the previous attempt to solve this problem: > there was a proposal at some point that the wmclass should be equal to > the name of the desktop file. For many apps this was true, but coverage > was never 100%. Right, because you cannot change the meaning of an existing property and then assume that it will work. Because of that I propose a new additional protocol applications can opt-in to when they can provide the information. Cheers Martin
