What's happening is that libdockapp essentially forces apps using it to render to the icon window. This is the same with the libdockapp examples, so I don't think wmacpi is misusing the library. The window maker dock seems to display things fine whether it's displaying to the icon window or the app window, but most other window managers will only display the icon window when the app is iconified - this is why iconifying wmacpi under twm causes it to work. The WM dock displays things happily either way (try running wmifs under twm - it works exactly as expected, so it must be drawing to the main window), so I'm not sure why libdockapp is doing it this way . . . Sadly, my X11-fu is insufficient to modify libdockapp to switch the drawing around, so I can't change it to test. However, I'm fairly confident this is the problem. I guess this should be handed off to the libdockapp maintainer.
