[maemo-developers] How to get a program window into the task/window switcher?

[From: Faheem Pervez]

Well, apps using a HildonWindow don't *strictly* do it either (Hildon sets
the name of the binary as the first line which is odd IMHO) .

But for GTK: you get the first line by using g_set_application_name() and
then gtk_window_set_title() for the second line.

But believe it or not, this isn't hard to do at all...

char *name = "Title to show on first line - Title to show on second line"
and then pass that char to XStoreName as the third argument:
