           Summary: suggesting more descriptive desktop window titles
           Product: Wine
           Version: 0.9.12.
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P2
         Component: wine-misc
        AssignedTo: wine-bugs at winehq.org
        ReportedBy: christian at authmann.de


With Wine 0.9.10 I've been using three different WINEPREFIX'es for three
different wine desktops, each holding its own application (just one each). The
Window title was set by wine to the path of the application, and allowed me to
automatically place those windows where I wanted by using KDE's window specific
settings.

I've upgraded to 0.9.12 now, and it's probably because of the desktop changes in
0.9.11 that the desktop windows are now named just "Wine desktop" (which makes
sense, as the desktop can contain multiple applications now). Unfortunately KWin
cannot distinguish the three desktops any more as they'll all have the same
class & title.


Proposed fix: add the desktop name to the window title, e.g. calling the window
"Wine desktop: $desktop_name".
This would allow me to run my apps with
WINEPREFIX=/my/path/to/prefix_A/ wine explorer /desktop=A myapp.exe
to get a unique window title "Wine desktop: A".


I wouldn't know how to fix this the proper way, so I'll leave the patching to
you. Setting to wine-misc, as I'm not sure if it needs to be fixed in explorer,
x11driver, both of them, or even somewhere else.

I'm using wine 0.9.12 from source, directly from gentoo portage, on x86_64, but
I don't think that matters in this case.
