feature request for xfwm

[Edscott Wilson García]

Well, it's not a feature request for xfwm, because it's already there. I did 
some modifications to xftree with the WM_COMMAND atom, and no changes were 
necesary to xfwm so that session management remembers correctly where to open 
each instance of xftree. I'll be uploading it to the CVS in about an hour or 
so.
