Window matching by WM_ICON_NAME not by WM_CLASS

[kosmosik]

I like to have custom icons for my applications. F.e. if I run rxvt-unicode it shows up as an ugly icon in AVN. So I change it to something nice. :)

The problem is that the change lasts only for one window. Another opened window gets the usual ugly icon.

I guess the problem is that AVN matches Windows with icons by windows titles (WM_ICON_NAME property) instead of their class (WM_CLASS property). I think that windows should be matched with their classes, not titles. Titles can change anytime. F.e. I use random fortune for titles of my terminal windows but they are still the same class.

For some reson this works well with gnome-terminal not with rxvt-unicode (which I prefer as it is faster and doesn't have bugs). I guess that gnome-terminal first sets "Terminal" as window title and then sets the title supplied from shell process. Rxvt-unicode is I guess faster or does it the other way. Anyway I get ugly icon for urxvt. :(

Concluding I think it would be nice that you guys implement more inteligent way of window matching.
