Description Ross Burton 2005-01-24 11:04:47 UTC 
The window list applet is grouping unrelated windows which do not set a
WM_CLASS. This is a bug as the windows are only related via their inability to
set the window class.  Also the grouped entry is titled "(2)" which isn't very
useful.

I believe that when grouping windows based on class, windows with unset classes
should be ignored.

I'm adding this to the long list of grouping bugs...
Comment 2 Vincent Noel 2005-01-28 15:05:05 UTC 
Moving to the right component. Sorry for the spam.
Comment 3 Vincent Untz 2007-05-19 21:44:31 UTC 
Ross: can you give me examples of such applications? It's hard to verify if some changes fix the bug if I can't reproduce it :-)

Should fix the bug

Ross, this patch probably fixes the bug, but since I don't know of any applications that do not have a class, I can't test it. Do you know of any such application?
Comment 5 Ross Burton 2007-06-23 09:28:07 UTC 
Sorry, I can't remember what application I was using at the time!
Comment 6 Vincent Untz 2007-06-23 21:34:43 UTC 
Ok, I'll just assume it works :-)
I committed the fixed version of the patch (since the one I attached was broken in two ways!).
