Description

Window managers can match the Spotify client more reliably by setting a class name before the client window appears. The Git package installs `spotifywm.so` and a `/usr/local/bin/spotify` wrapper that preloads the library before starting Spotify. It changes launch behavior for the proprietary Spotify client and is useful mainly for rule-based window managers.
