the resource VirtualSticky is like any other list of windows resource,
its a whitespace delimited list of window names:
olvwm*VirtualSticky: xload xclock xbiff

Keep in mind that XView applications dont have the WM_CLASS property set,
so you can't add their names to the list.  I know, I have tryed it.
Personally I find this a major deficiency in XView apps.  Another minor
dificiency is the lack of session manger hints (WM_CLINT_MACHINE
WM_COMMAND).  While running XView apps, xlsclients (an X11R4 client)
doesn't report XView apps.
