So I upgraded from your last commit 3 days ago.

Well, in the latest layout of AGNoStep C5C I am testing, the only 
component of WindowMaker I kept is the 'Fiend' (also called 'Clip'): I 
put there all the dockapps and apps docked which content is changing 
(wminfo, wmtext, AClock, TimeMon, wmnd, wmudmount) and I reserved the 
internal 'Dock' of GWorkspace for my favorites apps...

Now I must use all those several days with the new GWorkspace 
upgraded. Wait and see...

Cheers,
Patrick
