Please set different WM_CLASS name or class for different VirtualBox windows

[Will B]

There are several *nix window managers that need different name and class strings for WM_CLASS to identify multiple windows belonging to one application.

For example, my window manager, JWM, cannot discern between the VM Manager and a VM because the WM_CLASS name and class are both VirtualBox. I want to hide the title bar and borders for my VMs, but I'm also forced to hide these elements on the VM Manager because there's no way for the window manager to discern between the two windows.

It would be very helpful if the WM_CLASS name was VirtualBox and class was VirtualBoxManager for the machine manager, VirtualBoxVM for VMs and so-on.

Thanks!

Added this bug report because bug report https://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/12534 is for an earlier version of VirtualBox.

The report simply indicates when the ticket was opened. If something changed, this would have been noted at the ticket. You do not open a new ticket for a new VirtualBox version, you simply note it in the existing ticket (if you need to). Can you imagine what would happen if somebody opened a new ticket for every VirtualBox release? Chaos...
