I think each window has a name and a title, the title is displayed, but the name hidden, containing maybe more data. Take a look at Eterm + irc themes for example, the title changes for different irc servers but the window manager knows to handle it the same each time. (probably a bad example)

I'm not 100% sure about this so keep the flame throwers at ease :)
