 Yes, of course it does. One doesn't usually start several apps at the same 
time that set WM_CLASS to non-standard value. And moreover it doesn't hurt 
much if all startup buttons from taskbar are removed if such app is started. 
So what I wrote about the flags for app-start notification is probably not 
needed.

 That's what I meant with start_on_current_desktop. Starting an app on the 
desktop that's active when the first app's window appears doesn't need any 
voodoo magic :).
