I have found this excerpt in NEWS file, it is related to Shared application icons but there is some info about appmenu: -----BEGIN----- As a side note: wterm can use the shared appicon feature as long as it doesn't use the appmenu (will do this by default). If you start it using the appmenu (wterm -wm) it will disable the shared appicon feature because apps with appmenus are incompatible with this feature. If an application is a GNUstep application or if it has an appmenu, it's detected automatically and the shared appicon is disabled automatically without any user intervention or need to configure anything. -----END----- I have installed some GNUstep applications just to check their window properties. I would say that what makes a GNUstep application recognizable is the WM_CLASS set to GNUstep. >From the excerpt above I would speculate that appmenu is not a configurable option which could be used for any application but the feature of an application. I am speculating here but it might be that an application need to create a window of a docked type and with some appropriate hints (skip taskbar, skip pager, sticky and so on) which would then act as an appmenu. Is there something in a code that would support this? -- Josip Deanovic -- To unsubscribe, send mail to wmaker-dev-unsubscr...@lists.windowmaker.org.
