The subject may not be very clear. I have a "terminal" docked icon to launch
terminals.

Precisely, what it does is:

bash --login -c
"xterm -title Terminal -bg black -fg white -e bash --login &"

(Everything in one line.)

It used to launch an xterm, and leave the icon double-clickable again to
launch a second terminal. (With "..." on it)

Now, it launches the terminal. The terminal icon appears at the bottom of
the screen, and then I see the animation flow from where the new icon was to
the dock-bar terminal icon. "..." disappears, and if I double-click on it,
it switches to the workspace where I launched the terminal from, as
expected.

I can always launch another terminal by right-clicking the docked icon and
clicking on "Execute". It is far from practical, and the reason why I hacked
the "bash -c" thing...

If there is a workaround to it, I'll be glad to know about it. Otherwise,
could you please reconsider going back to previous functionality?

Thank you very much,

Antonio Fiol

Me too, me too!!!  This really needs to be fixed, it is tripple annoying.

I've got Alt-F9 set up to create a new rxvt,

    $ cat ~/.menu/rxvt
    ?package(local.rxvt):\
     needs=x11\
     section=XShells\
     longtitle="Rxvt: terminal emulator for X"\
     title=Rxvt\
     shortcut=Mod1+F9\
     command=rxvt

    $ egrep rxvt ~/GNUstep/Library/WindowMaker/menu.hook
      "Rxvt" SHORTCUT Mod1+F9 EXEC rxvt

but now every time I make one some specific icon I had set up with a
command in ~/GNUstep/Defaults/WMState like

          {
            Name = rxvt.XTerm;
            DropCommand = "rxvt %d";
            Lock = No;
            AutoLaunch = No;
            Command = "rxvt -title gig-3 -geometry 80x88-70+0 -e ssh -a -x -t gig-3 screen -D -R";
            Position = "0,7";
            Forced = No;
            BuggyApplication = No;
            Omnipresent = No;
          },

gets hoovered.

Hi,

 I'm sorry, I didn't notice this bug was being reported
 multiple times.  This is a more extended description of the
 same problem.
