Summary: 1.2.13pre3: sim dock window broken

Initial Comment:
In 1.2.13pre3, Sim's dock window (http://sim-icq.sf.net/) immediately disappears after briefly flashing up in the taskbar. It also doesn't show up in the window list (middle-click on the root window), so it doesn't seem to be a layer property problem. Looks like it briefly opens, and closes again (crashes?) right away. Sim itself keeps running fine, but without the dock window.



Relevant entries in ~/.icewm/winoptions:



[zlatko@thomas]:~$ grep sim ~/.icewm/winoptions

sim.allWorkspaces: 1

sim.mainwnd.tray: Exclusive

sim.Wharf.layer: OnTop

sim.Wharf.ignoreTaskBar: 1



Commenting out these lines doesn't help or change anything, the behaviour remains the same. Sim's docking window worked fine in 1.2.13pre1 (same icewm compilation options, same winoptions settings), didn't try 1.2.13pre2.

Looks like "KDE system tray support (experimental)" is the culprit - I basically disabled it completely by commenting out line# 1528 in src/wmclient.cc (I'm not using KDE anyway), and now sim's dock window is back:



// (else if (a == _XA_KDE_NET_WM_SYSTEM_TRAY_WINDOW_FOR) HAS(prop.kde_net_wm_system_tray_window_for);



Just out of curiosity, what is the intended purpose/function of this feature? Fooling applications looking for KDE's system tray into using icewm's system tray instead, I assume? Feature request for 1.2.13final: please make it configurable (either at compile time or through ~/.icewm/preferences), so that it can be switched off - thanks!

Just tested with 1.2.13pre2, same problem.
