xmonad shouldn't be altering these properties -- have you seen the flags for urxvt and xterm to set the class and resource name?

Why shouldn't it?

Oh. I misunderstood Spencer then - I thought he was saying XMonad shouldn't be altering any properties, not that there were standards-related reasons XMonad shouldn't be alternating two specific properties. -- gwern Cohiba .tc LEETAC Abdurahmon SUR Manfurov basement CCSC national sweep
