[openbox] openbox Digest, Vol 111, Issue 9

All of the _OB_APP_ items for a Firefox window are the same for all
Firefox windows, making it impossible to have Openbox configure each
Firefox window uniquely. However, _NET_WM_VISIBLE_NAME is unique for
each Firefox window that is opening a specific webpage, in that it
displays the text from the window's title bar. If I understand
correctly, that information was not available to Openbox when the
Firefox window opened. Chromium does display unique information for each
window, in the form of the path to the profile specified on the Chromium
command line, so it looks like I'll have to keep using Chromium and
avoid using Firefox.
