I have a pretty sizable collection DockApp sources here: http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/amigolinux/download/DockApps/ I have others which I've been too lazy to upload. Maybe there are some you don't find elsewhere. Note that all mine which need it get patched when building so that they properly identify themselves as DockApps instead of using the 'class' property which usually gets set to the app name. Someone mentioned in their reply to this thread that they use wmaker without any dock or clip -which is exactly what I do. But having the DockApps patched to properly identify themselves makes it possible to still use them and have them show and properly behave. At the site above, there are examples of the 'class' patch for every type of DockApp -whether it uses wmgeneral, gtk or whatever. I am very much in favor of seeing any DockApp sources which are still available patched up and mirrored somewhere -I think apart from the wmaker sources is best. I also think that thw wdm display managert should always be taken into account also. While wmaker itslef is just a window manager, together with WDm and a few nice DockApps, it becomes a very nice, clean desktop system.
