I have a diverse working set of same-app windows, what do I do?

Again, many emacs frames, many terminal apps. What is the proposed Gnome 3 workflow?

If you can get your terminal emulator to create its windows with a different WM_CLASS depending on their purpose then they will show up as separate top-level applications in gnome-shell, which is pretty cool. This may be one component of a solution.

The proposed workflow is to switch to xfce.
