Application fails to dock

For applications to be properly dockable, you have to add session management support. Not everything in the protocol is needed. The important bits are the window properties

If an application fails to dock, it is because either or all of this information is missing. For example, Netscape fails to dock on it's own, XMosaic doesn't. You are now left with the following options

  1. Look in the distributions `patches' directory to see whether a patch is available
  2. Convince the author or supplier to write X applications propperly :)
  3. Add the missing bits yourself if you have access to the sources
  4. Use the supplied dockapp script, which is found in the distributions `utils' directory.
