The latest svn version of fluxbox doesn't group applications from the groups
file. 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. for example, put the line "gvim gvim" in ~/.fluxbox/groups
2. start gvim twice on same workspace
3.

Actual Results:  
new gvim window opens every time I start gvim on the same workspace

Expected Results:  
expected a new tab (internal) if an existing gvim is on the same workspace

I have alerted upstream of this bug, it should be fixed soon, whereupon I will
release a new snapshot.

But there's a workaround - The groups file is actually deprecated... you can do
the same job (and more besides) in the apps file.  Here's more info:

http://fluxbox-wiki.org/index.php/Howto_edit_the_apps_file

The groups file isn't actually supposed to be going away until after the actual
1.0 release.

That was fast... a quick fix from upstream and a new SVN snapshot.  This is
fixed in fluxbox-1.0_rc3_p4949

Big thanks to _markt in #fluxbox for the excellent and quick fix.
