Hi,

just tried PWM ... wow! it's simply great. Up to the very moment I've
been a real fan of wmx [1], but this one seems to be even better!
Thanks Mary for mentioning it :)

As to your grouping problem, Kent, I think it's simply "XTerm.xterm"
(note the capital T) -- at least that works for me. In case of doubt
about a window's class/instance properties, just use xprop(1) (and
look for WM_CLASS).
