Dec 15, 2021 at 7:57 comment added DeanSinaean hi, how does dock or panel applications group multiple instances together when they are given different WM_CLASS? I tried to start two xterm instances and each with a different instance name, And my dock( Plank) still knows they belong to the same application and group them together.

The instance name does not override the class name, rather the resources specified by the former take precedence.
