Expected Results: application running in the appropriate space inside the panel. Additional info: Setup is very standard: fresh 7.3 installation, desktop is (obviously) gnome, window manager is sawfish. Using xwininfo on the app, window shows that the title is just as expected by the gnome panel for the swallowing.
This feature has been removed from rawhide, because it can't really be implemented reliably.
