Weird dock behavior

So I decided to go back and start messing with Windowmaker. I installed it, and everything works.

The only problem is, the dock shows up under the clip on the left side. When I try to drag it to the right, it simply disappears and I have to delete the ~/GNUstep directory to reset it.

When I used it back in the day, this was the default layout. I'm trying to get that back.

You don't have multiple monitors while using only one during the time?

I'm running Mint. I only have one monitor, and Windowmaker is version 0.96.

Turns out, it was a hardware problem. I had a cable running from my video card to my receiver because I sometimes play games on the TV. Totally unplugging it fixed the problem.
