[solved] mousepad parameter

Hi
I can start mousepad from xfce4-terminal with mousepad &
mousepad can take parameters like --class=CLASS or --name=NAME
If I try mousepad --class=MyCLASS &
mousepad start ok but after that, if I use xprop, the result is WM_CLASS(STRING) = "mousepad", "Mousepad"
Nowhere I can find MyCLASS.
It' s the same with --name=NAME
How to use these parameters ?
Thanks

Re: [solved] mousepad parameter

For me:

mousepad --class=MYCLASS --name=MYMOUSE &

...followed by:

xprop | grep WM_CLASS

...returns:

WM_CLASS(STRING) = "MYMOUSE", "MYCLASS"
