Viable feature request.

[Justin Piszcz <war@starband.net>]

1] For people use use window managers which you can tell it where to put
a specific window, there is a problem.

I use two xchats.

xchat -d .xchat-openprojects
xchat -d .xchat-efnet

However, for EACH new X-Chat that is released, I must change 1 line from
1.8.8 to 1.8.8o so therefore ie: Sawfish uses regex matches, when X-Chat
first starts up, I use the 1.8.8 for EFNet and 1.8.8o regex for OPN.

I have tried --name (from gtk options) to set the name as it starts up
but have had no luck.
When X-Chat starts up, it is called "X-Chat [1.8.8]" Unless you change
it.

I was wondering if a possible feature could be added to change the name
to whatever we want so we can easily tell which window to go where.

ie: I have two xchats, 1 goes in one viewport, the other goes into a
different viewport.
This is why people who want to do this need this option, or just
recompile xchat two times every time a new version comes out.

What do you guys think, would it be a good option to make it a
user-configurable option to name the window when X-Chat initially starts
up?

It would be *EXTREMELY* helpful to me, and anyone else who uses Regex
based searches (Sawfish) to place windows in certain viewports.

Please let me know, thanks.
