Those too. Awesome's wibox counts as a dock. Gnome's panel is a dock. To quote
EWMH:
_NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE_DOCK indicates a dock or panel feature. Typically a
Window Manager would keep such windows on top of all other windows.

Uhm, the one kind of dock (see above) doesn't have anything to do with the other
kind of dock. client.dockable.get() is for clients which "stick" to the corner
of the workarea when they are moved near to it (the client has to be floating
for this to work). That client then always stays in that position and makes the
workarea smaller. I use that e.g. for gimp's utility windows, so that they are
always visible even though they are floating.
So I have no clue what this patch really is trying to do, but I don't think it
makes sense.
Oh, now that I looked at dockable.get(): This would make gimp's utility windows
unfocusable.

Nah, thanks. Same reasoning as above ("makes no sense to me, explain!"). This
would remove gimp's utility windows from the tasklist and I'd like them to stay
in there.
