aye, there's the rub. Thanks for jumping in Dave.

Identify reports the Name, Icon Name, and Resource as "xbuffy", but
the Class as "XBuffy". When I made the change to use the Class name,
as you do, it works for me, too. Although the man page says,

          windowname can be a window's name, class, or resource
          string.

it appears to only work if the class is used for the windowname. Can
anyone else confirm this?

I was only able to duplicate the breakage from a fresh start of fvwm
using "xbuffy" as a windowname; I wasn't quite sure how to clear a
style using FvwmTalk.

If someone else can confirm this, is this change intentional? It
doesn't really matter as far as I'm concerned -- I just need to be
clear as to what the rules of the game are.

I've just been using the old syntax; I'll have to try this newfangled
Container stuff soon.
