Won't this conflict with the resource and command line interpretation?
I.e. in that setting this attribute explicitly will override any
attempts to change the name at run-time, either through X resources or
command line arguments.

Wouldn't it be more better to set the name in the application resource
default array passed to the Session constructor?
