Hi Mike

Just a thought - there is an icon under the configuration gui for
configuring the desktop - in there is a box 'use wmaker to mangage the
desktop' - somehow at one stage mine got turned off, perhaps you need to
click yours to get it to work? Sorry if the location details are a bit
vague, I am not on my d:b system - if you cant find it give me a shout &
I will look properly when I am at home.

cheers
