BTW, that property looks very wrong to me.  Is the instance name of the
X resources you want to apply to that frame really "vz_calendar-frame"?

If it is not, then you will run into difficult-to-explain problems with
any customizations you make down the road.

If you need to set WM_NAME by itself, set the `title' parameter.  Most
people have no reason to set the `name' parameter at all.

Window managers that ask users to change the declared instance and/or
class names of random windows in their programs encourage sloppy
resource management.  They should ideally allow matching on all window
properties, which Lisp code can then set with
`x-change-window-property'.
