I see. However, this problem does not occur under Window
Maker anyway 
(even without your gui patch) and got fixed under Azalea
with my little 
application-aware fix posted a few days ago.

So here we have what is left:

• flickering in overlapping windows when switching between
applications 
(does only occur in Azalea, not Window Maker)
• menu disappears after last document is mimimized (does not
occur 
under Window Maker, probably fixed in Azalea with my
application-aware 
hack)
• garbage characters at the end of window titles in Azalea
• switching applications with launchApplication: does not
set key focus 
correctly, at least not if the target application is already
running. 
Switching with the Window Maker Dock does work, so some
extra magic 
seems to be in charge here

Any ideas?

Regards,

   Andreas

  Well, it does not happen in WindowMaker because
WindowMaker knows
the internal of GNUstep.
  What I try to do is to have GNUstep work better with
general window
manager so people can choose their preferred window
manager.
  Your patch does not work for me as
  my previous patch on back does not work for you
  because it is a racing issue.
  I would prefer to fix the source of problem instead of
hoping one
action is faster than the other.
  So you can try the latest patch on -gui and see whether it
helps.
