DESCRIPTION

The XSetStandardProperties function provides a means by
which simple applications set the most essential properties
with a single call.  XSetStandardProperties should be used
to give a window manager some information about your
program's preferences. It should not be used by applications
that need to communicate more information than is possible
with XSetStandardProperties.  (Typically, argv is the argv
array of your main program.)

XSetStandardProperties can generate BadAlloc and BadWindow errors.
