-- Stability   :  experimental
-- Portability :  unportable
--
-- Sets the WM name to a given string, so that it could be detected using
-- _NET_SUPPORTING_WM_CHECK protocol.
--
-- May be useful for making Java GUI programs work, just set WM name to "LG3D"
-- and use Java 1.6u1 (1.6.0_01-ea-b03 works for me) or later.
--
-- Remember that you need to call the setWMName action yourself (at least until
-- we have startup hooks). E.g., you can bind it in your Config.hs:
--
-- > ((modMask .|. controlMask .|. shiftMask, xK_z), setWMName "LG3D") -- @@ Java hack
--
-- and press the key combination before running the Java programs (you only
-- need to do it once per XMonad execution)
--
-- For details on the problems with running Java GUI programs in non-reparenting
-- WMs, see "http:\/\/bugs.sun.com\/bugdatabase\/view_bug.do?bug_id=6429775" and
-- related bugs.
--
-- Setting WM name to "compiz" does not solve the problem, because of yet
-- another bug in AWT code (related to insets). For LG3D insets are explicitly
-- set to 0, while for other WMs the insets are \"guessed\" and the algorithm
-- fails miserably by guessing absolutely bogus values.
