For clarification, I am using a current Debian GNU/Linux sid (amd64). I investigated a bit further and found out that the "dropping" dock icon could possibly be caused by a Debian-specific patch to Qt. Apparently, Qt 3.3.4 on SuSE 10.0 is not affected, contrary to the Debianized versions of Qt 3.3.4 and 3.3.6. I will report this bug to the Debian maintainer of licq then. So I guess you might not want to include the first patch for now (although it does not seem to hurt docking behaviour on other distributions besides Debian). I still do think it is the correct solution for any version of Qt 3.3.x, as window hinting should be left to Qt and not manually handled in a few cases. (However, I have to concede that I do not have any prior extensive Qt programming experience...) Concerning the second patch, this should make a difference on all distributions, though. I could reproduce the minor annoyance of a surplus (invisible) window named "LicqWharf" in the window tabbing list on SuSE 10.0 with WindowMaker 0.92. Hiding the dock window with XWithdrawWindow() fixes this.
