Hi,

Are you sure this isn't a problem with tk or your script? 

I think window grouping is done by matching WM_CLIENT_LEADER, and only
falls back to using the window title if it's missing.

"xprop | grep LEADER" for any of the windows created by your script
doesn't show any matches.

I have only tried this on a system running gnome 2.22, but I'm guessing
it works the same in 2.14.
