I tried to change this by using "-name" instead of "-title" as parameter for the terminal. This also adds a new WM_CLASS to the window named like the parameter. This Class doesnt change if a application changes the title so xmonad could match on this. I tried both urxvt and xterm, they both behave the same way: if you supply "-name scratchpad" on the comandline a new WM_CLASS named "scratchpad" is added to the window.
I tried to change it on my own by changing the commandline (this worked without a problem) and then exchange the "scratchpadQuery" with scratchpadQuery = className =? "scratchpad"
You are (as is common) being confused by the fact that WM_CLASS is an array, and the *second* element is "className". The first element (-name) is "resourceName". (This and the fact that the title is WM_NAME are easily the most confusing parts of working with X11.)
Brandon is right. I actually made this patch on request from a user on #xmonad, because he was having this problem. I never pushed the patch since I wasn't sure it would work for all terminals, and the -title based solution had worked so far. I've pushed this patch to the repository, a darcs pull should have it matching on the resource name. Braden Shepherdson shepheb
