If i start it again from the command line the dock icon looses the three dots, but two new icons are put in the dock. One looks like the gworkspace icon, and one looks like a recycling icon. But the icons do not seem to have the gray background or border that the gworkspace icon has.The Recyler is something complicated and hackish :) However you always should have one GWorkspace icon.
You might want to disbale the desktop if you want to use Windowmaker stuff more. YOu may also want to disable gworkspace's dock and fiend. There is an overlap of functionality between gworkspace and windowmaker, so adjust it ti your needs.
Also, if i right click on the gworkspace icon, window maker does not get control it looks like (instead of getting a little 6-item menu including "Settings" i get the entire GWorkspace menu). I'm not sure if the icon right-clicking is the correct behavior or not, but not being able to successfully double click the GWorkspace icon sounds like something is not exactly right.
Perhaps you need to "source" GNUstep.sh before starting windowmaker.If you start your session with a display manager like xdm, you might want to add it to .xinitrc for example.
Before starting anything, if you choose "run" from the windowmaker menu, are you bale to start GNUstep applications? Like "openapp GWorkspace" from there. If that works, then you are on the right track of having everythign setup and not needing to rely on the command-line to start up your apps.
