Hmmmm. Under RHL 9, with a rebuilt basically-stock Window Maker, there was no problem with this.
Hmm.. I dont remember. If it worked fine with GNOME 2.2 (RHL9 was 2.2 wasn't it?), then it must have been GNOME 2.4 which changed things. Certainly, with GNOME 2.4, the gnome-panel desktop switcher and window list no longer function with WindowMaker as WM. Indeed, probably most other WMs other than metacity and sawfish.
I dont follow GNOME development, and i'm sure there must be good reasons for changing things, but from a user POV, the lack of backwards compatibility for something as basic as this is a wee bit annoying.
(appears to be rpms/RPMS, by the way.)
Ah, oops, yes:
http://hibernia.jakma.org/~paul/rpms/RPMS/i386/WindowMaker-0.81.0-1.i386.rpm
It's a slow link btw. Also, I believe current WindowMaker CVS has the needed changes now.
