Does xprop give different values depending on WM?

I successfully start VLC as a floating app in wmii. So I tried the same tagging rule in dwm and it just wouldn't work. So I tried to get the xprop for it and this is what I got

_MOTIF_DRAG_RECEIVER_INFO(_MOTIF_DRAG_RECEIVER_INFO) = 0x6c, 0x0, 0x5, 0xb2, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0, 0x83, 0xb6, 0x10, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0
_NET_WM_NAME(UTF8_STRING) = 0x56, 0x4c, 0x43, 0x20, 0x6d, 0x65, 0x64, 0x69, 0x61, 0x20, 0x70, 0x6c, 0x61, 0x79, 0x65, 0x72
WM_CLIENT_LEADER(WINDOW): window id # 0x1c00006
_NET_WM_PID(CARDINAL) = 11910
_NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE(ATOM) = _NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE_NORMAL
_MOTIF_WM_HINTS(_MOTIF_WM_HINTS) = 0x2, 0x1, 0x7e, 0x0, 0x0
WM_PROTOCOLS(ATOM): protocols  WM_DELETE_WINDOW, WM_TAKE_FOCUS, _NET_WM_PING
WM_NAME(STRING) = "VLC media player"
WM_LOCALE_NAME(STRING) = "en_US.utf8"
WM_CLASS(STRING) = "", ""
WM_HINTS(WM_HINTS):
        Client accepts input or input focus: True
        Initial state is Normal State.
        bitmap id # to use for icon: 0x1c00009
        bitmap id # of mask for icon: 0x1c0000c
        window id # of group leader: 0x1c00006
WM_NORMAL_HINTS(WM_SIZE_HINTS):
        user specified location: 251, 349
        program specified location: 251, 349
        user specified size: 461 by 97
        program specified size: 461 by 97
        program specified minimum size: 461 by 126
        window gravity: NorthWest
WM_CLIENT_MACHINE(STRING) = "arch"

Do I have to use a ", " to make VLC a floating app? xprop gives VLC as the WM_CLASS in wmii.

Is this how it is supposed to be?

Also, how would I make an app appear on all tags all the time, in dwm? I want stalonetray to be visible on all tags.
