No no no no no. You can turn them off entirely.

I ran the configure program with these options (and some irrelevant)

  --enable-gnome    --enable-usermenu  --enable-single-icon 

Ok I not sure about the --enable-usermenu don't know what it does that
is.

If you use the --enable-single-icon option there is a small bug in
dock.c. Just remove the } in line 3529 of that file.

and I had to patch window.c with this:

            XMapWindow(dpy, wwin->icon->core->window);
            wwin->icon->mapped = 1;
        } else if (!wwin->flags.mapped && 

 

Then turning on disable miniwindows, the icons disappears and the
gnome pager can be used.

NB: First thing you should check is to make a new GNUStep directory
with wmaker.inst to see if that is the reason you cannot get the icons
to go away.
