What version of dockbar(x) are you using? Vanilla dockbar 0.24, dockbarx 0.23.2 or the last commit to the dockbarx branch? They all use different launcher systems.

Ok, then what did you enter as Resource Class Name when you added your launcher? The resource class name is what groups windows together and also what connects the right launcher with the right windows.

To easiest way to choose the right res class name is to first start the program and then add the launcher, that way you can find the res class name in the drop down list.

Next version of dockbarx should guess the resource class name, so you won't have to type it in anymore. (Well, it only works 95% of the time, for some applications you still have to set the res class name manually.) If you want to you could try out this new feature already, it's available in the experimental branch.

I didn't see your blueprint until now. Launchpad doesn't send me mail on new blueprints. :(

I will comment on it later.
