Package: wmacpi
Version: 2.1-1

When wmacpi is launched without option, it only displays a black box in
the MonitorWharf and standalone.
With text mode option or -v -v -v -v I can see the good ACPI
informations.

you mean, if you use that very verbose setting, you can see the information in the dockapp-window, within afterstep?



Problem see with Afterstep 2.00.02-2 and there's no problem with WindowMaker 0.91.0-7.

afterstep, too? i tested with windowmaker, fluxbox and twm; these work fine (twm has to disable its decorations). i experienced the same problem as you with KDE and XFCE. well, upstream is informed about that. :)


Okay, I've had a closer look at this, and I think it's either a
libdockapp issue or a window maker issue.


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.

I'm agree with you.
