Tiling window managers no longer recognize spotify client #169

Flathub spotify distribution uses spotifywm to set spotify's WM_CLASS property before launching the main window. This allows window managers to handle it properly.

Unfortunately, with the newest update to spotify, there is a new issue with spotifywm so spotify flatpak no longer works well with window managers. There haven't been any updates or workarounds that fix the issue up to this point.

I don't know of any convenient work-around at this point.

I think it's even worse in 1.1.67 where spotifywm can't find spotify window, see https://github.com/flathub/com.spotify.Client/pull/167#issuecomment-912040028

Currently experiencing this. Breaks swaywm's ability to identify Spotify.
