As I am testing AGNoStep C5C, I noted a more unstable behaviour: It 
often happens when I move a document icon on an app icon (namely 
TextEdit) on the left Dock: it is as the two docks were conflicting 
about which handles the DND action.

On the left Dock (which belongs to GWorkspace) I have only GNUstep app 
icons (GWorkspace, TextEdit, SimpleAgenda, Terminal, GNUMail, 
InnerSpace and the Recycler) while on the right dock (GWDock) I have 
mostly dockapps and only two docked GNUstep apps: AClock and TimeMon.

As I have Dunst notification message in the autostart script, when the 
issue happens, I can see this notification shown. So I guess the 
autostart is called again, as Window Maker was started again, but all 
the GNUstep apps windows are still there: none is closed. So this is 
weird, because, unless I see the notification, I could not guess 
something unexpected happened.

I  think this issue will be difficult to analyse because it is a 
GWorkspace and a Window Maker interaction.

Cheers,
Patrick
