Yeah, this should be fixed in Arch (Ubuntu did this a few releases ago
for example).

I know there are weird behaviors when opening a new OpenOffice app when
another one was already started. E.g. here if I start Writer and then
Impress, both windows are still showing "OO.o Writer" as app. This
happens both when launching Impress via the overview or by opening a
slideshow. Is that what you also experience? Is the WM_CLASS correct on
the Impress window (in my example) with LibreOffice?
