Riccardo, could you please provide more info on your specific setups?

As stated in description to this commit it fixes flickering of appicon at application start. Quote: “This fix based on the fact that root application window (ROOT) is mapped in `-orderwindow:::` and this is the event of application recognition by WindowMaker because it is a first application window that is mapped.”. That "root application window" is called “group leader” and saved in every application window structure (WWindow) member `main_window` inside WM. It holds all required properties to be detected by WM correctly. The earlier fix probably masks other unknown problem. My WindowMaker 0.95.7 default configuration tests work like a charm. Wolfgang, do you observe the same behaviour as Riccardo? I yes, could you please share your setup? > Wolfgang > > Sergii
