Sorry to reply to myself, but rereading this it just poped to me that
even moving may be possible, if gnustep stops relaying the left mouse
click to wmaker for the period when it wants to be able to control its
movement. 
But if you control its movement wmaker will not know it moves and will
not try to dock it if it gets near the dock (wmaker tries to dock it
only while the appicon is dragged around by itself).

btw, why is appicon movement needed under program control (not user
control)?
