Hi Riccardo,

The issue seems more general, not only with DND. I noted many restarting while testing AddressManager. Again with the two docks on the desktop.

Cheers,
Patrick

How are things with this? Ever happened again?

It did to me - I cannot have a certain way to reproduce it. I thought it was triggered by actions like renaming, but I was able to observe it without. Stupid things it always takes days.

Things that I guess might trigger are:
- presence of the inspector, maybe only the content inspector and changing/observing many files
- switching between many directories, perhaps with inspector open
- changes of files "under the hood" by other process (uncertain, most often, nothing happens)

The latter should affect more fswatcher, but maybe messages get htrough? I don't know.



As I am testing AGNoStep C5C, I noted a more unstable behaviour: It often happens when I move a document icon on an app icon (namely TextEdit) on the left Dock: it is as the two docks were conflicting about which handles the DND action.

On the left Dock (which belongs to GWorkspace) I have only GNUstep app icons (GWorkspace, TextEdit, SimpleAgenda, Terminal, GNUMail, InnerSpace and the Recycler) while on the right dock (GWDock) I have mostly dockapps and only two docked GNUstep apps: AClock and TimeMon.

As I have Dunst notification message in the autostart script, when the issue happens, I can see this notification shown. So I guess the autostart is called again, as Window Maker was started again, but all the GNUstep apps windows are still there: none is closed. So this is weird, because, unless I see the notification, I could not guess something unexpected happened.

I think this issue will be difficult to analyse because it is a GWorkspace and a Window Maker interaction.

Cheers,
Patrick
