Description Dave Johansen 2013-05-10 16:54:30 UTC 
The changes for Bug #165075 made it so that all windows without WM_CLASS set are not grouped. My assumption is that the original motivation was to not group windows from different programs that didn't have WM_CLASS set, but now the tasklist becomes unusable when a large number of windows without WM_CLASS are opened.

A fall back behavior of using window name or something other identifier should be used to still perform grouping even when WM_CLASS is not set. It would also be nice to have an option to enable/disable this new feature to not break what is now the "existing behavior".

For for reference, the changes made were part of these commits:
