Re: WindowMaker fork made for GNUstep

[Ondrej Florian]

Hi Gregory,

Done! :-)

You can drag app icons from GWorkspace to create dock buttons.

It is limited to .app extensions only now, but it could be enhanced to handle 
files and folders in the future.
WMaker expects dock icon to be an executable in order to track its status (e.g. 
running) or to handle drag&drop. With files & folders this would have to be 
handled differently.

Anyway, hopefully you'll find this useful.
