There's an extensive set of options for controlling just which windows 
are subject to a given set of per-window settings. These are in 
the "Window" and "Window Extra" tabs of the Window-Specific Settings 
dialog.

I can't say I have a particularly good understanding of these, but I 
know I've been able to get the results I want in every case, not all of 
them entirely trivial, with a bit of trial and error.
