Description Adam Tkac 2009-12-21 14:22:52 UTC
Description of problem:
Firefox no longer uses "Firefox" X11 WM_CLASS property. It breaks at least my fluxbox configuration.

WM_CLASS property is the easiest way I know to identify X11 applications in scripts etc.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
$ rpm -q firefox xulrunner
firefox-3.6.1-0.6.b4.fc13.x86_64
xulrunner-1.9.2.1-0.7.b4.fc13.x86_64

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. run $ xprop WM_CLASS
2. click on firefox window
3. check which WM_CLASS properties firefox has
  
Actual results:
$ xprop WM_CLASS
WM_CLASS(STRING) = "Navigator", "Namoroka"

Expected results:
"Firefox" string is included in WM_CLASS property as in Fedora 12 (and probably every stable firefox release)

This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 13 development cycle.
Changing version to '13'.
