I only want to run a single docklet, and put the whole xfce4-wmdock into the System Tray next to other panel plugins. It would be great if xfce4-wmdock would be configurable, be it in the Configuration dialog or with command-line parameters, to just take the space needed for a certain number of docklets (in my case, just 64 pixels width).

Sorry if this is already possible. I looked through all documentation I could find, but without success.

Reproducible: Always

I didn't understand your wish right. If you add the xfce4-wmdock-plugin in your
panel and launch only one dockapp, the required space is in this case only 64 pixels. Why you need  a parameter or a option in the configure dialog to set a fixed width for the wmdock?

Kind regaards,
 Andre

Screenshot showing xfce4-wmdock with a weird size

Hi Andre,

thank you for your fast answer and sorry for not having been more clear. I attach a screenshot of xfce4-wmdock in a horizontal (top) panel, without any docklets loaded. The panel plugin takes a large space, starting above the top left corner of the WMDock configuration window up, and ending at the speaker symbol to the right. The tile with the XFCE mouse is in the middle.

From your answer, I guess that this might not be standard behaviour, but a bug in my distribution's packaging or my configuration? Using current Debian unstable, xfce4-wmdock-plugin 0.2.0-1.

After making some quick tests, I see that everything works fine when the panel is configured on "Normal width". The problem appears when the panel is set to "Full width".

Hi Viktor,

strange. I never seen this bug before ;) But I can reproduce it also in Debian 4.0 (etch). Ok, I will fix it in the next release, after my holidays ;)

I hope I have the next release done this year in october.

HTH
