Arch Linux, no side panel, only main browser window. about fsviewer HOT 5 CLOSED

Hey @mikedebian, this sounds a lot like an issue with WindowMaker's configuration, see for example roblillack/wmaker#4. Can you try adapting your configuration and restart wmaker?

Hello, yes I can try, however to let you know, app menu works in all other gnustep applications I have installed.

I made the change to the source file, installed modified file, did not have any effect, sorry.

Today, it suddenly wanted to work. No changes made in any windowmaker files, no nothing. Very weird. I just opened it up and there the pane was.

I'm having this issue on the latest Alpine Linux (3.18), using latest packages, FSViewer built from fresh git clone. Modifying /etc/WindowMaker/WMWindowAttributes doesn't help, menu isn't shown and I can only use the window title context menu item "Kill" to close FSViewer. I have attached the relevant files here:

Contents of /etc/WindowMaker/WMWindowAttributes:

{
  Logo.WMDock = {Icon = GNUstepGlow.tiff;};
  Logo.WMPanel = {Icon = GNUstep.tiff;};
  Logo.WMClip = {Icon = clip.tiff;};
  WMDrawer = {Icon = Drawer.tiff;};
  "*" = {Icon = defaultAppIcon.tiff;};
}

CMakeCache.txt
install_manifest.txt

Update: I figured out what was causing the problem. The local configuration file was overriding the one in /etc. When I also changed the relevant part of $HOME/GNUstep/Defaults/WMWindowAttributes to:

 "*" = {
    Icon = defaultAppIcon.tiff;
  };

the menu was shown.
