Here you are operating a "foreign" application directly with WindowMaker. So
I expect it to be their problem. GNUstep does not interfere here.
The only point would be where you expect it to run with the GWorkspace dock,
but I have no interest in kludging it to support foreign gnome applications.
A wrapper doesn't seem enough.

The best option would be probably to try a port of that application.

Maybe, you can browse through http://www.gnustep.org/softwareindex/ which more and more list all GNUstep applications and components, independently of where and by whom they are developed and hosted. If you find some application that is not yet included, please feel free to add it.

GNUmail: where is the unsent message?

Hello. I failed to send my first email using GNUmail with an error message about authentication. Then the email compose window disappeared (I as user expected the window still opened in case email fail to send). Then I am thinking about resending, but facing two problems: 1. There is no "resend" or "send" function in the menu; 2. And there is no "unsent" mailbox for keeping unsent email, so where is my email now? I checked Drafts too with no luck. Is my email lost? Thanks. _______________________________________________ Discuss-gnustep mailing list Discuss-gnustep@xxxxxxx http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss-gnustep

gnome minimize-to-try application doesn't work

Hello. There are gnome applications that usually minimize to tray and open a window when user clicks a button on the tray. e.g. stardict, a dictionary software, would sit in gnome tray most of the time, and in most time does not display any window. It display a window when user clicks its tray icon. AS ordinary user, I expect when I run such gnome application in gnustep, I would be able to click the application icon (in windowmaker) and bring up a window like I did by clicking gnome tray icon. But it doesn't work for me. Clicking on the application icon would not bring a new window. Question: 1. How it should be? Should gworkspace swallow the application in its dock and act as gnome tray icon? Should windowmaker handle this by making application icon behave like tray icon? Should the software itself change a bit to fit certain standard on desktop application interactiveness? 2. Who should I complain to for a change? Windowmaker, gnustep or the team who wrote the tray-icon application? _______________________________________________ Discuss-gnustep mailing list Discuss-gnustep@xxxxxxx http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss-gnustep
