The blacklist doesn't filter programs reliably

[Martin Stjernholm]

When emacs23 is started with "emacs --name foo" it won't get a working scrollbar, while "emacs --title foo" and just "emacs" both work. It turns out that g_get_prgname() returns "foo" instead of "emacs" when --name is used, thereby circumventing the blacklist filter. Still, the process has "emacs" in argv[0] (according to ps and /proc/xxx/cmdline).

Package versions: overlay-scrollbar is 0.2.16-0ubuntu1, emacs23 is 23.3+1-1ubuntu9.

I agree, but I am missing other ideas to easily blacklist apps, maybe grepping for a substring?
