commit 720c1c5d64dbb9d0f77bc09cd56a1bbae9456f76
Author: Teika kazura <teika lavabit com>

New grammar for 'add-window-matcher' and 'remove-window-matcher'.
Now it is possible to specify both window's name and class (and others).
They now take two arguments. Old usage is still supported. Doc is done.
The old behavior was buggy, and even if the old grammar is used,
it is amended.
Suppose you've already got rules for '((WM_NAME "foo") (WM_CLASS "class"))
and '((WM_NAME "bar") (WM_CLASS "class")).
Now if you you (add-window-matcher 'WM_CLASS "class" actions...),
then it used to be added to *one of* the above two, and it was unpredictable
which would be! This is fixed.

;; Commentary:
;; This module provides a general mechanism for setting properties on
-;; matched windows as they're created. It removes much of the need for

-
-;; For example, doing:
-
-;; (add-window-matcher 'WM_CLASS "Term" '(place-mode . interactive))
-
-;; makes all terminal windows be placed interactively. Or even better:
-
-;; (add-window-matcher 'WM_CLASS "Netscape/Navigator"
-;; '(ignore-program-position . t))
-
-;; makes netscape windows a lot easier to live with.

+Sawfish can trigger actions particular to each window. More
+precisely, if the window's properties match to the user set rule, then
+it is executed when the window appears. Check is done in
+ code{before-add-window-hook} (@pxref{Standard Hooks})
+
+These rules can easily be set by configurater GUI, but there're

+ '((ignore-program-position . t)
+ (maximize . vertical)))

+
+ var{rules} is an alist, and each value is matched using regex.
+Allowed keys are any of @code{WM_NAME}, @code{WM_CLASS},
+ code{WM_ICON_NAME}, @code{WM_WINDOW_ROLE}, @code{WM_CLIENT_MACHINE},
+ code{WM_COMMAND}, and @code{WM_LOCALE_NAME}. Values to the keys are
+strings. Windows are selected if all of these rules match.
+
+ var{actions} is an alist. For possible keys and values, see
+ file{lisp/sawfish/wm/ext/match-window.jl}.

+Opposite of @code{add-window-matcher}, but unlike it, @var{props} are

+
+ lisp
+(remove-window-matcher '((WM_NAME . "^root$"))
+ '(place-mode ignore-program-position))
+ end lisp
+ end defun
+
+The best place to use @code{add-window-matcher} is in
+ file{~/.sawfish/rc}. It's because rules modified by these commands are
+not necessarily saved, depending on how you run the configurator.
+
+The rules are stored in variable @code{match-window-profile}. Use
+the above functions to modify its value. It is not recommended
+to directly manipulate it.
