+wmname prints/sets the window manager name property of the root window
+similar to how hostname(1) behaves.
+
+wmname is a nice utility to fix problems with JDK versions and other broken
+programs assuming a reparenting window manager for instance.
+
+Run 'wmname' to print the current WM name. Run 'wmname <name>' to set it.
+This is pretty much similiar to hostname(1).
