Probably the dockapps also use winprops. From the docs at
http://notion.sourceforge.net/notionconf/node4.html#SECTION00452000000000000000

Notion first filters the winprops based on the primary identification fields. Of those winprops that match the primary identification fields, the most recently defined winprop that also matches the secondary filters is used

The winprop above is pretty much a 'catch-all' one. cfg_kludges.lua has a 
winprop that puts all 'is_dockapp' windows into the statusbar. This is probably
overwritten by the one above.

The solution would be to make sure the winprop above is the first winprop, so
any later winprops will overwrite it. In practice this probably means you want 
to put this winprop before 'dopath("cfg_defaults")' in your cfg_notion.lua.
