Ok, I moved it to experimental

Done (I think)

I removed the last line (I spent many time with an error when I removed 
the line in the middle of the file :-( )

Done

Yes, the package failed in the previous compilation. I make a patch

Changelog done. Moved now to kix.es. Yes, the application is a bit old, 
I need to talk with more people interested in wmaker/docks to create a
