	  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.  If the string
	  is not in the Host Portable Character Encoding, the result
	  is implementation-dependent.

	  XStoreName can generate BadAlloc and BadWindow errors.

	  The XFetchName function returns the name of the specified
	  window.  If it succeeds, it returns a nonzero status;
	  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.  If
	  the data returned by the server is in the Latin Portable
	  Character Encoding, then the returned string is in the Host
	  Portable Character Encoding.	Otherwise, the result is
	  implementation-dependent.  When finished with it, a client
	  must free the window name string using XFree.

	  XFetchName can generate a BadWindow error.

     PROPERTIES
	  WM_NAME   The name of the application.

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

	  BadWindow A value for a Window argument does not name a
		    defined Window.
