Description
spotifywm: Set Spotify's WM_NAME before opening the window.
Spotify does not respect window manager rules. Any window manager that try to apply specific rules like starting it on a determined workspace or maximizing it on startup, has no effect, as Spotify doesn't set the WM_CLASS property before creating the window.
This one should fix the problem.

Confirm the relevant Void package entry and reproduce the behavior with a window manager; done means Spotify exposes the requested property early enough for workspace or maximization rules to apply.
