tint2 panel and WM dock

(I'm putting this in the WM/DE area because it may be specific to how Openbox handles its dock.)

I've found a few WM docklets that I really like, and I thought it might be cool to have tint2 within the dock, as I saw that was an option in tint2rc.  However, I'm finding that I have to manually rescale tint2 based on how many docklets I have running.  (e.g. if the docklets cover half the panel width, I need to set tint2's width to about 50% to get it to fill the panel area without running offscreen; if it's set to 100%, it runs off.)  Does this sound like a bug or an undocumented feature?

Basically, I just want to know how to categorize this (and get confirmation on this behavior from other docklet users) before contacting the developer.

Re: tint2 panel and WM dock

^ A bug specific to Tint2?  If I understand you correctly, you are trying to scale a dock within a dock?  One of the issues of Tint2 is that it is more of a dock emulator than a dock and has no inherent rescale options, which is a bummer.

Do you have an example of one of these WM docklets that I can test with to get a better understanding of what you are wanting to do?

Here's a few:

wmmoonclock
wmclock
wmcpu
wmpinboard
wmifs
wmmixer
wmweather

And the Openbox dock config is on the bottom tab in obconf.
