Linux: Views: Expose configuration of the WM_CLASS window property

Open magreenblatt opened this issue 3 years ago • 5 comments

Some Linux window managers use the WM_CLASS property on the top-level window to control window grouping and desktop file matching. It is currently configurable in Chromium via Widget::InitParams::wm_class_name/wm_class_class and should be exposed for configuration via the CEF API when creating the CefWindow.

The current workaround is to place a XSetClassHint + XFlush at the method that implements CefWindowDelegate::OnWindowCreated.

Probably also need to set params.wayland_app_id, see DesktopBrowserFrameAuraLinux::GetWidgetParams

We can add a CefWindowDelegate::GetLinuxWindowProperties method for retrieving wayland_app_id, wm_class_name and wm_class_class via a struct argument.
