Not bloody likely; I can't code my way out of a paper bag, and I certainly am not prepared to take on WindowMaker dockapps, though I will likely write to the developers, if I can track them down, once I've finished testing whether the PEBKAC or not. But thanks a lot; I've not only learned something, but this looks like it has a fair chance of working, as well. I appreciate it. Holly -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
