Description
The window that gets spawned on clicking on the dock icon stays in the top-right corner of the screen (while the taskbar lies at the bottom); moving the mouse out of the dock icon hides it, rendering it unusable.

Research direction
Reproduce the dock-icon contextual-menu behavior in GNU/Linux with IceWM, using the reported taskbar position and X.Org details as context. Confirm that the spawned window no longer appears in the top-right corner and remains usable when the pointer leaves the dock icon.
