->  I agree re brokenness on client side but the client ids are being set.
->  You need to look on the client leader window (i.e. WM_HINTS "group leader").

it isnt there - try gnome-help-browser for example - one window only -
no session id property set.. i tried as many gnome apps as i could.. no
session id property as per the R6 session management specs :(

->  You should not need the session name. Index the data on the client id
->  allocated to E. 

i also need names to differentiate multiple windows of a client - i
need to have your 2 other windows etc. have unique information on
them...
