       window_name_return
                 Returns a pointer to the window name, which is a
                 null-terminated string.

  DESCRIPTION
       The XSetWMName convenience function performs a
       XSetTextProperty on the WM_NAME property (see section
       9.1.3).

       The XGetWMName convenience function performs an
       XGetTextProperty on the WM_NAME property (see section
       9.1.3).

       The XStoreName function assigns the name passed to
       window_name to the specified window.  A window manager can
       display the window name in some prominent place, such as the
       title bar, to allow users to identify windows easily.  Some
       window managers may display a window's name in the window's
       icon, although they are encouraged to use the window's icon
       name if one is provided by the application.

       XStoreName can generate BadAlloc and BadWindow errors.

       The XFetchName function returns the name of the specified
       window.  If it succeeds, it returns nonzero; otherwise, no
       name has been set for the window, and it returns zero.  If
       the WM_NAME property has not been set for this window,
       XFetchName sets window_name_return to NULL.  When finished
       with it, a client must free the window name string using
       XFree.

       XFetchName can generate a BadWindow error.

  PROPERTIES
       WM_NAME   Name of the application.

  DIAGNOSTICS
       BadAlloc  The server failed to allocate the requested
                 resource or server memory.
