For using openapp from wmaker, afaik all the gstep paths have to be set before 
the x11session/wmaker is started (or using wmaker's autostart script); that may 
lead to problems on some specific setups whereas the current behaviour seems to 
work properly (as long as you don't change the libcombo though).

Another thing: when launching a docked gstep app, the docked icon keeps the 
three dots and the app itself spawns a new app icon. By what is that behaviour 
caused?
