In X, a window's wmclass distinguishes it from other windows, allowing
customizations like "stick to every desktop", "don't show window decorations",
etc per window.  Currently every XUL window gets the class
mozilla-bin.mozilla-bin, which makes it impossible to set different window
manager properties for different mozilla apps.  The attached patch uses the
(already present) windowtype attribute from the XUL <window> tag as the class
name, resulting in wmclasses like Mozilla.navigator:browser, Mozilla.mail:3pane,
and Mozilla.irc:chatzilla.

The patch has been tested on Windows and Linux.

Pavlov/Hyatt, would you be kind enough to review?
