window name "-m" instead of "xdot"

[Arthur Gleckler]

I run xdot on Linux (Pop OS) using python3 -m xdot filename.  Whenever I press Alt-TAB to switch between programs, though, the UI shows "-m" as the name of the program instead of "xdot".  I haven't been able to change the implementation to fix this, e.g. by using set_appication_name.  Does someone else know how to do this?  I'm particularly interested in making sure that WM_CLASS is set properly because I have code that searches for the window using the class.

Thanks very much.

Hallo Arthur,

I had the same behavior using Manjaro.

Putting window.set_wmclass("xdot", "xdot") in DotWindow.__init__ of ui/window.py solves the issue for me.

Maybe you can open a new issue on github?

best, mome
