Hello again,

I reported this a while ago [1]. Maybe someone wants to check it out.

When some applications are started from shell scripts or symbolic
links, instead of being launched from their own binary files, the
value of the field "Application path and arguments" in the settings
dialog of their AppIcon is set to the destination of these
links/scripts, instead of the "appropriate" command.

Examples:

/usr/bin/opera -> Is actually a shell script that opens /usr/lib64/opera/opera
/usr/bin/firefox -> Is a symbolic lync to /usr/lib64/firefox/firefox
/usr/bin/thunderbird -> Is a symbolic lync to
/usr/lib64/thunderbird/thunderbird which is a script that calls to
/usr/lib64/thunderbird/thunderbird-bin
/usr/bin/chromium -> @/usr/lib64/chromium-browser/chromium-launcher.sh
 -> /usr/bin/chromium-browser -> ....

Basing me on the thunderbird example, after docking this application,
when I double-click ot I get a popup dialog with the legend 'Cannot
execute command "thunderbird-bin".'

$ wmaker --version
Window Maker 0.95.2

Regards.
