Re: GWorkspace future

[Dennis Leeuw]

I don't know which part it is that I should reply to, but what I am 
missing is a Dock like part of the Workspace.

If I dock Preferences on the Window Maker Dock and double click the app 
icon I have a clock on my desktop.
If I dock Preferences to Fiend and double click the app icon I get a 
clock on the bottom of my screen with all other icons.

And yes I think this omni-present Dock should hold the recycler. It's 
probably not very NeXT like, but I love having different Workspaces like 
WindowMaker has (and almost any wm). So a Dock that is omni-present with 
certain apps available on any workspace (fileviewer, preferences, 
recycler) would be nice and a Fiend for apps on a certain workspace.

Maybe I am way off of what you are asking and I really appreciate all 
the work you have put into GWorkspace. But somehow your e-mail triggert 
a train of thought :)

Greetings,

Dennis Leeuw
