OK, thanks for the hint. I played around with WMaker's mini window settings and found that the menu works if I switch on 'omnipresent mini windows'. As i use only one workspace I ignored this setting so far. But still mini windows work only if GSAppOwnsMiniwindow is set to NO ( as you descrbe above). What is the reason behind GSAppOwnsMiniwindow anyway? What do I achieve if I set it to YES?
