xfce4-wmdock-plugin - WMdock plugin for XFCE
Description:
The WMdock plugin is a compatibility layer for running WindowMaker dockapps on the XFCE desktop. It integrates the dockapps into a panel, closely resembling the look and feel of the WindowMaker dock or clip, respectively.

Usage:
  • Compile and install the package as usual
  • At the moment its best to set the size of the panel which is going to swallow the plugin to something larger than 64 pixels
  • Right click on the panel and add the WMdock plugin
  • For now, just close the properties dialog that will pop up
  • Open e.g. a terminal or the XFCE "Run Program..." dialog
  • Start your invaluable dockapps e.g. wmcalclock, wmsmpmon, wmhdplop etc. pp. WMdock will swallow them.
  • Now you can open the properties dialog to change the order of dockaps and the command line used to start an individual dockapp
  • On your next XFCE session startup, WMdock will automatically come up with your dockapps as configured.
Known bugs:
  • Do not try to add more than one instance of the plugin to any panel on your desktop.
