It don't work with most recent versions of Tk *.x) because Tk doesn't allow 
windows in the 'withdrawn' state to be mapped, which means they don't get
put in the Blackbox 'slit' (which is the dock you referred to).

BB looks for windows being mapped for the first time, with their 'initial
state' (in their WMHints) being set to WithdrawnState, and if so sticks them
in the dock. Tk just doesn't play at this point, so it won't work.

I tried wmdock.py, and maybe it used to work with some older version of Tk
but not (as far as I can tell) with the 8.x series.
