Neither is intended to be a real identifier for an app... The matching window manager class <-> .desktop file name is quite good, since anyway we need a common way to identify apps. Though I must admit our way is not perfect...

The problem is, see how OO.o uses standards... We already need to detect their windows from title patterns to match them to Writer, Calc and others. Then you need to detect the command used by the distribution to start it. In Ubuntu, it's e.g. 'ooffice -writer %U'. Could have been 'oowriter %U' too. I'll check whether its command is standard on Fedora and others...
