Possible x11 window manager window aggregation under one icon?
Confession: haven't done this in decades. Isn't the usual way to use 'xwininfo' to figure out the information about any X window and set a specific resource in the .X11defaults or equivalent?? Also doing the same with windows that aggregate could yield a common resource, perhaps? -Naras

[ I hope the Subject: is arcane enough to reduce readership to a handful :) ] Running the default window manager in the Linux distribution I am running, multiple 'windows' of the same program are usually aggregated under one icon. I typically have numerous (gnome) terminals, several top-level emacs windows, likely more than brower window (even with tabs) and so on. They all aggregate under the top-level icon R plots however all have one each. Needless to say I may also have more than one plot device open... Would anyone know how we can force these to aggregate under just one? I had some digital fingerprints on the .desktop file that ships with simply because someone first sent it to me as a patch for the Debian package. But I know nuttin' about the XDG desktop specification and all that. I had one idea regarding window titles, but those are different for the terminals and emacs windows too. Anybody have an idea? Dirk
