In article <100920168@hpcvlx.cv.hp.com> you write:

This would have been nice if it had been defined earlier, but window_group
is now being used for something else by the ICCCM.  This is the window
on which the WM_CLIENT_MACHINE and WM_COMMAND properties are placed if
the client opens multiple top-level windows (section 5.1.1).  Consider
an editor, for example, which opens multiple top-level windows.  All of
those windows are now perforce in the same window group, but it would
probably not be proper behaviour to iconify and deiconify them in a group.
Too bad.
