Description:
gnome-terminal ignores the command line options --name and --class.
These options are listed with gnome-terminal --help as general gtk+
options. They should set the WM_CLASS property of the terminal window,
so window managers can manage properties of individual windows separately.
The WM_CLASS property can be displayed with the xprop command.
Example:
# gnome-terminal &
# xprop WM_CLASS
(point the cursor on the terminal window)
WM_CLASS(STRING) = "gnome-
# gnome-terminal --disable-factory --name foo --class bar &
# xprop WM_CLASS
WM_CLASS(STRING) = "gnome-
Here is how it should be:
# gnome-terminal &
# xprop WM_CLASS
WM_CLASS(STRING) = "gnome-
#gnome-terminal --disable-factory --class foo --name bar
# xprop WM_CLASS
WM_CLASS(STRING) = "bar", "foo"
Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.
