+Summary: MWF sets wm_hints.window_group incorrectly
+
+X11Hwnd.cs sets the wm_hints.window_group of toplevel windows to be the
+root window. This is wrong; it should always set it to point to one of
+the app's own windows. One specific problem this causes is that if you
+set the panel task list to "Always group windows", it will group the
+windows from all MWF apps together into a single group (with no name),
+rather than having a separate group for each app.
+
+There are two possibilities to fix this: if all forms apps have a "main
+window" (which IIRC they do?), you can just set the window_group of
+every window in the app to point to the main window. If not, you can do
+what gdk does, which is to create an invisible (ie, offscreen, not
+shown, etc) window, and have that be the window_group for every other
+window in the app. (In that case, you have to also set the name/icon
+properties on that window as well, so that when the tasklist is in
+"group" mode, it will have a name and icon to use for the group as a
+whole.)
