+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The
+.ZN XSetWMProperties
+convenience function provides a single programming interface
+for setting those essential window properties that are used
+for communicating with other clients (particularly window and session
+managers).
+.LP
+If the window_name argument is non-NULL,
+.ZN XSetWMProperties
+calls
+.ZN XSetWMName ,
+which in turn, sets the WM_NAME property (see section 14.1.4).
+If the icon_name argument is non-NULL,
+.ZN XSetWMProperties
+calls
+.ZN XSetWMIconName ,
+which sets the WM_ICON_NAME property (see section 14.1.5).
+If the argv argument is non-NULL,
+.ZN XSetWMProperties
+calls
+.ZN XSetCommand ,
+which sets the WM_COMMAND property (see section 14.2.1).
+Note that an argc of zero is allowed to indicate a zero-length command.
+Note also that the hostname of this machine is stored using
+.ZN XSetWMClientMachine
+(see section 14.2.2).
+.LP
+If the normal_hints argument is non-NULL,
+.ZN XSetWMProperties
+calls
+.ZN XSetWMNormalHints ,
+which sets the WM_NORMAL_HINTS property (see section 14.1.7).
+If the wm_hints argument is non-NULL,
+.ZN XSetWMProperties
+calls
+.ZN XSetWMHints ,
+which sets the WM_HINTS property (see section 14.1.6).
+.LP
+If the class_hints argument is non-NULL,
+.ZN XSetWMProperties
+calls
+.ZN XSetClassHint ,
+which sets the WM_CLASS property (see section 14.1.8).
+If the res_name member in the
+.ZN XClassHint
+structure is set to the NULL pointer and the RESOURCE_NAME environment
+variable is set,
+then the value of the environment variable is substituted for res_name.
+If the res_name member is NULL,
+the environment variable is not set,
+and argv and argv[0] are set,
+then the value of argv[0], stripped of
+any directory prefixes, is substituted for res_name.
+.LP
+The
+.ZN XmbSetWMProperties
+and
+.ZN Xutf8SetWMProperties
+convenience functions provide a simple programming interface
+for setting those essential window properties that are used
+for communicating with other clients
+(particularly window and session managers).
+.LP
+If the window_name argument is non-NULL,
+they set the WM_NAME property.
+If the icon_name argument is non-NULL,
+they set the WM_ICON_NAME property.
+The window_name and icon_name arguments are null-terminated strings, for
+.ZN XmbSetWMProperties
+in the encoding of the current locale, for
+.ZN Xutf8SetWMProperties
+in UTF-8 encoding.
+If the arguments can be fully converted to the STRING encoding,
+the properties are created with type ``STRING'';
+otherwise, the arguments are converted to Compound Text,
+and the properties are created with type ``COMPOUND_TEXT''.
+.LP
+If the normal_hints argument is non-NULL,
+.ZN XmbSetWMProperties
+and
+.ZN Xutf8SetWMProperties
+call
+.ZN XSetWMNormalHints ,
+which sets the WM_NORMAL_HINTS property (see section 14.1.7).
+If the wm_hints argument is non-NULL,
+.ZN XmbSetWMProperties
+and
+.ZN Xutf8SetWMProperties
+call
+.ZN XSetWMHints ,
+which sets the WM_HINTS property (see section 14.1.6).
+.LP
+If the argv argument is non-NULL,
+.ZN XmbSetWMProperties
+and
+.ZN Xutf8SetWMProperties
+set the WM_COMMAND property from argv and argc.
+An argc of zero indicates a zero-length command.
+.LP
+The hostname of the machine is stored using
+.ZN XSetWMClientMachine
+(see section 14.2.2).
+.LP
+If the class_hints argument is non-NULL,
+.ZN XmbSetWMProperties
+and
+.ZN Xutf8SetWMProperties
+set the WM_CLASS property.
+If the res_name member in the
+.ZN XClassHint
+structure is set to the NULL pointer and the RESOURCE_NAME
+environment variable is set,
+the value of the environment variable is substituted for res_name.
+If the res_name member is NULL,
+the environment variable is not set, and argv and argv[0] are set,
+then the value of argv[0], stripped of any directory prefixes,
+is substituted for res_name.
+.LP
+It is assumed that the supplied class_hints.res_name and argv,
+the RESOURCE_NAME environment variable, and the hostname of the machine
+are in the encoding of the current locale.
+The corresponding WM_CLASS, WM_COMMAND, and WM_CLIENT_MACHINE properties
+are typed according to the local host locale announcer.
+No encoding conversion is performed for these strings prior to storage
+in the properties.
+.LP
+For clients that need to process the property text in a locale,
+.ZN XmbSetWMProperties
+and
+.ZN Xutf8SetWMProperties
+set the WM_LOCALE_NAME property to be the name of the current locale.
+The name is assumed to be in the Host Portable Character Encoding
+and is converted to STRING for storage in the property.
+.LP
+.ZN XSetWMProperties ,
+.ZN XmbSetWMProperties
+and
+.ZN Xutf8SetWMProperties
+can generate
+.ZN BadAlloc
+and
+.ZN BadWindow
+errors.
+.LP
+The function
+.ZN Xutf8SetWMProperties
+is an extension introduced by The XFree86 Project, Inc. in their 4.0.2
+release. Its presence is
+indicated by the macro
+.ZN X_HAVE_UTF8_STRING .
