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 s. allbery [solaris,freebsd,perl,pugs,haskell] allbery@kf8nh.com system administrator [openafs,heimdal,too many hats] allbery@ece.cmu.edu electrical and computer engineering, carnegie mellon university KF8NH
