For some reason jwm 'acts up' on me at times, not expanding the dock or having dock icons misplaced(?) - this most recently in wary 020 with jwm vsvn-492 (although it has happened in other pups with other jwm versions). The dock is usually on a vertical tray and may need an extra attribute perhaps, it's not very clear to me (usually a simple <Dock/> line in the tray file would be fine). Often I'd just start/quit another systray-oriented app like xpad and it would make the 'invisible' one pop up (or not), kind of annoying in an otherwise great lil' wm. Anyone else have this happen in jwm?

Here's a larger screencap-link @536k of the jwm issue and..
a smaller 'cap-link @85k and another @62k with single dock icons properly showing with their menus

Screencap-links of other wms/docks/systrays..
e16 @37k, fluxbox @20k and stalonetray @20k which all work as expected

Panel systray plugins (fb&lxpanel) also fine, but I'll spare you those details
Any further comments appreciated..

Interesting. It sound's quite different, but I have noticed a couple of gtk based programs (the one I remember is audacious) with tray icons which if you kill them at least sometimes the tray icon disappears but the space it occupied remains. I believe it is a problem with these programs, not with JWM, because in the case of audacious a grey rectangle also remains where the main window was. N.B. this is with the old skinned audacious interface - I don't think I've had this happen since I've been using the gtk2 interface.
