You canīt get it work with a link, you have to copy the wharf and name 
it uWharf, then in the config file you have to do it the same way like 
for the wharf just with *uWharf at the beginning of each line. A link
will always point to the original and then the original will be
started.

In the look files you have to define 128 in the texture type section
and the some lines below you have to define the pixmap file:
#                      title  unfocused sticky  menutitle menu
TextureTypes            128     128     128     128     128   

TitlePixmap            menue2window.xpm
