I will try that out and report back > how it goes for me. I installed docker and put 'docker &' in the autostart script. After I re-login with WindowMaker as the desktop manager, I see the dock. Now when I start pidgin, it shows an icon in the dock as expected. However when I start NM, it says that I need to be root to run NM (I tried this in terminal to see the message it spews). Sudo doesn't work either. So I su to root, and run NM, but that doesn't do it either. Am I missing something? -- Suvayu Open source is the future.
