TBH, I haven't been using WindowMaker for a number of years now. I've now tried it again and the code works for me. I hadn't noticed the subtle change in the _checkStyle: method, which has removed the group hint from the initial window used to compute the frame offsets and apparently does the trick to tell WindowMaker to ignore these windows when it comes to determining which window is the appicon. So, sorry for the noise and insisting (twice) that my original fix would be necessary. :-( I just blindly had guessed from Riccardo's description that the original issue was still present. Wolfgang
