I see.  I am talking about sending actions to a specific window, and
you are talking about changing actions based on what window they are
being sent to.

In current working tree, we have some <if> constructs for actions, and
if those could be applied to tags then you could do what you are
asking.

People seem to be doing some really neet stuff with wmctrl though. :)
