Yes, I tought about filing a bug with the Qt package, but have refrained from doing so until further investigation. Unfortunately, I did not find any time yet to test against past Qt Debian package versions and isolate the responsible patch. I might not have expressed my view on this issue clearly enough. It is true that the problem with the dropping dock icon window in WindowMaker only appears with the Qt version in Debian. However, IMHO the patched Qt is not to blame for this misbehaviour; it merely pointed out a problem in the licq plugin code. As I already wrote above, setting the window_group hint on some windows while leaving out the rest is simply inconsistent. The window_group hint should be managed automagically *solely* by Qt. Concerning upstream, I can fully understand that they do not want to immediately include a patch which fixes a Debian-specific issue not occuring on other, personally utilized distributions. Yet again, I guess that in the long run, the window_group hint inconsistency needs to be resolved upstream as well.

I should not have unconsciously tried to get in both patches in unity and at the same time. Regards, Peter -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
