The kludge here is probably to delay startup of your dockapps in your .xsession. Something like:
No. This can't be the problem. The dock decides to manage the dockapps
in the add_clientwin_alt hook and this should not be called before Ion
has finished reading its configuration files and therefore having loaded the modules. Of course, if you load the dock module later on manually, the
dock won't start managing the existing dockapps, as it should not. Also,
if you restart Ion, the automatically saved configuration is used.
The goal of the sleep is to delay the startup of the dockapp until ion itself has started, nothing more. This way the dock should be up and running when the dockapp appears. Why shouldn't this work?
