What does the output of xprop | awk -F '"' '/^WM_CLASS/ { printf("%s:%s:",$4,$2) }; /^WM_NAME/ { printf("%s\n",$2) }' give you?
It should give the class, instance and title, in that order. Also, class and instance names are case sensitive, I think. 2009/12/8 Sandra Snan <sandra.s...@handgranat.org> > xprop seems to think that the class name is "surf", but here are my dwm > rules: > static Rule rules[] = { > /* class instance title tags mask isfloating */ > { "Iceweasel", NULL, NULL, 8, False }, > { "surf", NULL, NULL, 8, False }, > { "Emacs", NULL, NULL, 4, False }, > { "Totem", NULL, NULL, 32, False}, > { "Tasks", NULL, NULL, 64, False}, > }; > > New Iceweasel windows show up having the fourth tag from the left > regardless of which tags were visible when I first launched it (I > often have many tags visible), but new surf windows just have the tags > that were visible, seemingly ignoring these rules.
