Bernhard,

I don't find the current xfwm4 behaviour faulty with tool/dockbars.. On
the other hand, there is that bug with Open Office I opened a few months
ago that's still under investigation:

http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=12701

I dunno if that related, but that might (actually, I think it is
related)

Cheers,
Olivier.
