[KDocker] Applications are closed when clicking the title bar "Close" button.

[PhobosK]

I just upgraded KDocker from the PPA to version 4.5 and found out that now when you click the close button of a docked application (the "Close" button of the app's window at the titlebar when the app is presented on the desktop), the app closes. The old versions of KDocker (4.3 for example) did not do that, instead they docked the app.
Is that a bug or it is a feature?
If it is a feature, could you please make it optional, so the user can choose between the two behaviours?

The close button docking feature was removed in 4.4 due to it being highly unstable. On one Xorg versions it caused docked applications to be unusable. I don't have any time frame of when it will be reintroduced due to the behavior of the feature being vastly different between Xorg versions.

Thanks for the quick answer...
Well the 4.3. version behaves quite well on a couple of different Xorg servers, on a couple of distros like Mandriva, Ubuntu, Gentoo...
Probably a good idea will be this feature to be re-introduced only for the Xorg servers that are known to work, and for the faulty ones to be hidden...
Anyway you have commented this bug as a "won't fix".... so i guess no change will be done soon... and that means i will stick to the 4.3 version for now... :)

The issues were mainly between Ubuntu versions. 9.11 worked fine, then 10.04 (I think those are the correct versions) it suddenly had major issues with not being able to enter text in docked windows.

I have an experimental brach for minimize on close but many of the issues it causes appear to be issues within X11.
