newbie user difficulty in managing dockapp

[Zhang Weiwu]

What is the right way to manage docapp to start after login? Using 
gnustep & wmaker. I am trying to dock AClock & TimeMon

Traditional way is to customize .Xsession. It doesn't work. If I start 
AClock after logged in, it has a single animated application icon which 
is what I need. If I start it with .Xsession, before or after running 
wmaker, then it has a single application icon that does not animate, 
plus an application icon that animates, sitting at lower-left corner. I 
only need one application icon there (I made sure only one AClock 
process is running).

The wmaker way to launch application upon session start is to dock 
application to the dock and do setting "Start when Window Maker is 
started", which doesn't work for AClock. If I dock aclock to the dock 
and do the setting, it looks fine, but next time when I login & session 
starts, in the dock there is a still (un-animiated) icon in the dock, 
but no animated application icon (I made sure AClock process is running).

The wmaker manual also said dockapp can be set auto-start by 
double-click mouse-button 3 on the application icon, which also doesn't 
work for me. (double-click with mouse-button 3 is exactly as if I didn't 
do that. Nothing happens).

Thanks.
