If you're using a GTK version of gvim, you should be able to pass the
'--class' commandline argument.

e.g.:

$ gvim --class yay
$ xprop WM_CLASS
## ...then click on the window...
WM_CLASS(STRING) = "gvim", "yay"


Not sure this is documented anywhere. Found it by source-diving.
There's a large set of:

/* Arguments handled by GTK (and GNOME) internally. */

starting at line 333 of src/gui_gtk_x11.c
