Issue 232: SetWMName does not seem to be sucessfull http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=232 Comment #4 by byorgey: Good debugging work! Starting from here I drilled down through the code and found the culprit-- the gnome config uses the generic desktop config, which uses the logHook from EwmhDesktops -- and guess what, the EwmhDesktops logHook sets the WM name to "xmonad", overriding whatever you set it to! duh. Does anyone know of any good reason why the line 'setWMName "xmonad"' should not simply be removed from the EwmhDesktops logHook? And if there is a good reason it is there, can anyone think of a better solution? Of course in theory the WM_NAME should not matter, but in practice it obviously does.
