Build ID: 2000100421-M18 (Solaris, Sparc)

Different windows created by Mozilla aren't recognizable (for the window
manager) as windows belonging to one app. As a result, the system keyboard
shortcut for switching between the windows on one app does not work.

Steps to reproduce:
1) Open another browser window if you haven't two or more windows open already
2) Press Alt-F6

Reproducible always.

Actual results: Nothing

Expected results: Expected another Mozilla window to become active.
hmm on linux, it seems the WM doesnt' only see it as one APP, but even as one
window. There are no difference between window groups (classes?), which means
that minimizing browser also minimizes mailnews (if WM is told to minimize
groups of windows that "belong" to eachoter). Same WM handles Netscape 4.7* just
fine, mening mailnews and browsers cluster up as groups, and minimizing browser
still leaves mailnews open.

I think this boils down to be a side-effect of bug 29856:
"*nix only : Window Class the same for all mozilla windows".
Or a dup, rather.
Depends on: 29856
Assignee: danm.moz → nobody
This is a side effect of the window class being set incorrectly, as suggested in
the previous comment.
