GTK3 UI not setting _NET_WM_NAME properly

Added by Roman Bogorodskiy about 6 years ago

I'm using openbox and configure it to run applications on specific virtual desktops. It's hard to do with audacious, however, because it doesn't seem to properly set _NET_APP_NAME for example.

$ xprop|egrep "_OB_APP_(CLASS|NAME|ROLE)" 
_OB_APP_CLASS(UTF8_STRING) = "<unknown>" 
_OB_APP_NAME(UTF8_STRING) = "<unknown>" 
_OB_APP_ROLE(UTF8_STRING) = 
$

To compare with firefox:

$ xprop|egrep "_OB_APP_(CLASS|NAME|ROLE)" 
_OB_APP_CLASS(UTF8_STRING) = "Firefox" 
_OB_APP_NAME(UTF8_STRING) = "Navigator" 
_OB_APP_ROLE(UTF8_STRING) = "browser" 
$

Audacious 3.9

What could be wrong with that?

Did you try GTK2 or Qt5 instead? GTK3 is pretty broken in general and we don't recommend using it.
