ok, class, name, title these are the options for quick & dirty hacks.
As soon as StartsOnPage is working I was planning to do sth like this
anyway, BUT:

Well I just wanted to put in my 2 Groschen, as the StartsOnPage style is
still to be implemented, and also before TGSFR.
So maybe it could be held in mind that someone might want to specify flags
upon WHERE the client connected from while hacking the style thingie.
That alone could change A LOT ;^)
It's some sort of having two -or many- different X Terminals connected to
different hosts, knowing that an emacs on "X terminal 1" is from host1, but
still being able to move windows from one 'X terminal' to the other, since
it's the same virtual desktop (for StartsOnPage) / X server (for
StartsOnDesk) on the machine in front of you.
most things can be made better with some hacking, but proper designing /
programming is far better in the long run.
I wouldn't have posted, if I thought I was the only one with X applications
from two hosts mixing....
(You always have to bear in mind, WHERE the application/ host ist, when
pressing the PRINT button.)
