[Gambas-user] Embed xfce4 panel into gambas application

[Joshua Higgins]

I'm not familiar with the way window managers and X work, but as Beniot said
the only way I know how to find out the WM_CLASS of a window is using xprop.


I have found out though whilst trying to get the Xfce Panel embedded is that
the WM_CLASS is no more unique than the name. The two Xfce panels have the
same name, the same class and the same role, so I can't really see how any
of these are more accurate, unless of course your window has no title.

As far as I can tell what you wrote should work, I'll have a go when I get
back to my Linux box :)
