Yury, it looks to me that you understand the problem quite well and the problem is: starting from 0.95.4 if you have dragged some app icon to the wmdock you would need to use CTRL + double click or CTRL + single click (in case you are using the "SingleClickLaunch = YES" option) to launch additional instances of the application represented by the app icon in the wmdock. Before 0.95.4 in the case described above CTRL key was not required. The change of this long standing behavior is the problem although it's not mine own problem since I don't use that particular feature. A friend of mine pointed it to me and I am trying to see if it's possible to convince developers to change that particular behavior as it were before 0.95.4. I am inclined to believe to believe that if there is a one person who suffers from some particular change there must be more. P.S. Many things regarding different behavior have changed with 0.9x. Unfortunately when I have tried it back then (I believe it was 2007) I had no time to write complaints and from my point of view back then it looked completely /fucked up/ so I decided to stick with 0.80.2 which worked perfectly well for me until few months back when I had to use multiple monitors and xinerama. I have decided to actively communicate with the developers hoping to either make them change few things the way they worked in previous releases (e.g. 0.80.2) or to make some quick and dirty patches myself as some of the bugs were a real show-stoppers for me. I succeed in my goal and almost all of the discrepancies between 0.80.2 and 0.95.5 I have noticed (or at least those that were particularly important to me) are now "fixed" or "in line" if you don't see the word fixed as appropriate here. :-) Regards -- Josip Deanovic -- To unsubscribe, send mail to [email protected].
