Description

Hi,

I am having an issue with Custom Tkinter where I am not able to change WM_INFO from "Tk" when root is made with ctk.CTk().

This means that my .deb builds for each app have to have the same WM_INFO and that causes them to be grouped together awkwardly and it causes unexpected behavior. Essentially, it means I can only have one app installed at a time to avoid bugs.

If there is a known solution to this, please let me know. Otherwise, I would love to see this issue fixed in a future update.

Thanks!

Research direction

Start by reproducing the issue with a root created using ctk.CTk() and investigate how its window-manager information is set. Done means separate .deb applications can assign distinct WM_INFO values and no longer group together unexpectedly.
