Do you able to change WM_CLASS?

My fault, I didn't added it in example but of course use it (without it
emacsclient doesn't create window).
Let me give more details what I did and what I get.
1. Run Emacs without parameters
$ emacs
$ xprop | grep 'WM_CLASS\|WM_NAME\|WM_ICON_NAME'
WM_CLASS(STRING) = "emacs", "Emacs"
WM_ICON_NAME(STRING) = "emacs@smoon.bkoty.ru"
_NET_WM_ICON_NAME(UTF8_STRING) = "emacs@smoon.bkoty.ru"
WM_NAME(STRING) = "emacs@smoon.bkoty.ru"
_NET_WM_NAME(UTF8_STRING) = "emacs@smoon.bkoty.ru"
2. Run Emacs with parameters
$ emacs --name default --title USER@HOST
$ xprop | grep 'WM_CLASS\|WM_NAME\|WM_ICON_NAME'
WM_CLASS(STRING) = "default", "Emacs"
WM_ICON_NAME(STRING) = "default"
_NET_WM_ICON_NAME(UTF8_STRING) = "USER@HOST"
WM_NAME(STRING) = "USER@HOST"
_NET_WM_NAME(UTF8_STRING) = "USER@HOST"
3. Run emacsclient (the socket is created by systemd, emacs started by
service)
$ emacsclient -s /run/user/1000/emacs-default -c
$ xprop | grep 'WM_CLASS\|WM_NAME\|WM_ICON_NAME'
WM_CLASS(STRING) = "emacs", "Emacs"
WM_ICON_NAME(STRING) = "*scratch*"
_NET_WM_ICON_NAME(UTF8_STRING) = "*scratch*"
WM_NAME(STRING) = "*scratch*"
_NET_WM_NAME(UTF8_STRING) = "*scratch*"
But this time I already have openned Emacs windown. If I close it (C-x 5 0)
and run emacsclient again I get
WM_CLASS(STRING) = "emacs", "Emacs"
WM_ICON_NAME(STRING) = "emacs@smoon.bkoty.ru"
_NET_WM_ICON_NAME(UTF8_STRING) = "emacs@smoon.bkoty.ru"
WM_NAME(STRING) = "emacs@smoon.bkoty.ru"
_NET_WM_NAME(UTF8_STRING) = "emacs@smoon.bkoty.ru"
4. Run emacsclient with -F
$ emacsclient -s /run/user/1000/emacs-default -c -F '((name . "default") (title
. "USER@HOST"))
$ xprop | grep 'WM_CLASS\|WM_NAME\|WM_ICON_NAME'
WM_CLASS(STRING) = "emacs", "Emacs"
WM_ICON_NAME(STRING) = "default"
_NET_WM_ICON_NAME(UTF8_STRING) = "USER@HOST"
WM_NAME(STRING) = "USER@HOST"
_NET_WM_NAME(UTF8_STRING) = "USER@HOST"
This time I don't have openned Emacs window. If I run the same command when
Emacs already has window (created by emacsclient) then I get
WM_CLASS(STRING) = "emacs", "Emacs"
WM_ICON_NAME(STRING) = "default"
_NET_WM_ICON_NAME(UTF8_STRING) = "USER@HOST"
WM_NAME(STRING) = "USER@HOST"
_NET_WM_NAME(UTF8_STRING) = "USER@HOST"
As one may see only emacs allows to set 'instance' (WM_CLASS, first string)
with --name option.
