Ah. I'll see that this gets changed for the next release.

I was wondering what the rationale behind that patch was. Now that I
know what you wanted from it, I'll try and make it happen correctly.
The real problem that I recall (there may have been others) was in
module communication. Plus, I didn't want NULL values for Name,
Class, etc. I'd much rather have windows that don't have a name to be
renamed in fvwm internals to Untitled and those that don't have a
class to be given one of NoClass, so that they are evident and can be
controlled w/ Style commands.
I'll fix the code to make sure NoClass windows get thier titles from
the name, as it sounds like that's the real problem, correct? I have
a small program that I can modify to test the different combinations
of Name, IconName, Class, and Resource to make sure that they are
treated ok for the next patchlevel.
