Thank you. The menu weirdness is gone now and working for my version of KDE (3.3.1). There are other weirdness, but more bareable. I'll report it if I isolate them (if you want to take a look, try running Gorm on KDE, and you'll see, probably only on the 3.3 series or 3.3.1).
Thank you again, thank you!

This should be corrected in CVS now.

The problem here was that the code we had in place was specifically there for an old version of KDE. The current KDE seems to treat the EWMH settings correctly. I tried the new code with KDE, Gnome, WindowMaker and FVWM and it seems to work with all of them. (FVWM now draws borders around all windows, even menus, not sure if this used to be different)

I left the old code in place, you may reactiate it with the define USE_KDE_OVERRIDE.

I'm putting this bug into Backend because I was told in #gnustep@irc.freenode.net that this bug was in back.
I'm using GNUstep apps on KDE, but I have a problem working with the menus that pop up together with an application (normally on the top-left of the screen). The problem is that when I click an item to open the submenu, two bad things happen:
1) It is marked as a new window on the taskbar, which leads me to have lots of windows appearing and disappearing in the taskbar, that's not nice.
2) It is open in background, so I have to go the taskbar and click on the item for it, to bring it to from, which makes working with the menus about 10 times slower.

There's also other similar problems, for example (I'm very new to GNUstep), I open Gorm and it opens one menu, two windows, and that big icon on the desktop. The two windows are on the taskbar. I create a new application and that opens two more windows, so for Gorm, I now have four items in the taskbar, when I switch to another application, the initial two windows disappear from my screen and from the taskbar. When doing rapid switching, the taskbar blinks and blinks and it's crazy.
Also, when all I have of an application is the big icon on the desktop, double clicking it only brings it back if there's no other non-minimized application on that desktop.

In the channel #kde-devel@irc.freenode.net I was told that kwin (KDE's window manager) is netwm compliant.

Thanks.
