I don=92t have an example here. But, I know I've seen a wine installed app =
where the Exec line in the desktop file did not have the same as =
/proc/pid/cmdline and the app name in the WM_CLASS did not match to a =
desktop file either.
But still, I agree - all cases should be catered for. I'm not arguing =
against that. All I was saying that *if* the automatic matching does not =
work, then *allow* the user to manually set it. If the automatic =
matching works, there is no issue.
Craig.
