   a submenu named "Manage Window Rule" which provides the following abilities
   for a particular window:

   - create a new/modify the existent Specific Window rule
   - create an Excluded Window rule
   - re-apply the window rule
12) If a window was processed with the particular Specific Window rule the
   "Modify window rule" window menu item now indicates this rule's name.

   buttons size).
14) Now every new Specific Window rule is created using the All Windows rule as
   a template.
15) Added the "Restore to Defaults" command which resets a particular Specific
   Window rule's options to All Windows rule's options.
