KDE window grouping title

Thread view:

hi,

I have build a swing application with many frames. Each frame has a
appropriate title which occours in the controllbar. but if the number
of frames becomes to big, kde (4.3 @ suse 11.2) begins to group them
togehter. this grouping has an somehow arbitrary title... sometimes it
sounds like a package name, currently its "java-util-TimerThread".
Has anyone a clue how to set this name to something useful?

THX

What happens in other window managers? Is this just KDE?

The <http://sscce.org/> in the bug report you cited produces the
expected behavior on Mac OS X Aqua and Ubuntu Gnome. In particular, Mac
OS X always groups application windows, while Gnome never does. Windows
7 shows an attractive "stack" icon, and the roll-over menu on the task
bar shows the correct frame titles.

The problem appears to be related to disparate window managers and the
report includes a discussion of several alternatives. One additional
approach to managing a large number of frames comes to mind:

Thank you for following up on this interesting topic.
