WM_CLASS and WM_NAME are commonly matched against in "window manager
rules." For example, I have a script that essentially calls
`make-frame' with a specific frame `name' [*] which I then match against
in my window manager configuration to move the frame to the top right
corner of my screen.
[*] I see that Emacs sets WM_CLASS and WM_NAME to the `name' frame
parameter.
% xprop |grep wm_'\(class\|name\)'
_NET_WM_NAME(UTF8_STRING) = "vz/calendar-frame"
WM_CLASS(STRING) = "vz_calendar-frame", "Emacs"
WM_NAME(STRING) = "vz/calendar-frame"
