  It sounds like this is one application creating multiple windows (for 
different purposes), in which case WM_CLASS would be allowed to be the 
same (but q.v.).

  I can somewhat reproduce this with LibreOffice (GNOME 3.2):  if I 
start Writer, then do File->New [Spreadsheet], the icon and name 
(top-left in GNOME Shell) become that of Calc (“libreoffice-calc”) for 
*both* the Calc and Writer windows.  That's not right.

  Especially since:

WM_CLASS(STRING) = "VCLSalFrame.DocumentWindow", "libreoffice-calc"
WM_CLASS(STRING) = "VCLSalFrame", "libreoffice-writer"

  .. so they're not even the same class.

  Of course, the Lotus case may be entirely different, and my GNOME is 
now a bit on the old side so it may be better now.

  In fact, my VM Fedora 18 (GNOME 2.6) seems to be OK.
