Yes, change the code. I personally don't like the idea of 25 strcmp's (or 
possibly regex matchings) every time you move the mouse into a window, but 
maybe that's just me. Thinking about it for 3 seconds though, you could 
match the string when the window is managed and set a boolean in the 
client struct and just check that, good luck.
