In my .twmrc file, I have named some clients for which I don't want a title
bar.  The problem is that twm only requires that the first n characters of
the client/class in the list match the name of the client/class one wishes
to list.  For example, in my list for NoTitle, I have the client "xcal",
but when I start up "xcalc", it matches the "xcal" in the list and it doesn't
get a title bar.  It wouldn't matter if I use the class name (XCal), because
the first four letters of the class for xcalc also match XCal.

Is it possible to simply change the code in LookInList (list.c) to do
a "strcmp" instead of a "strncmp", or is there some special reason that it
needs to do the "strncmp?"
