Installing Wickr on Whonix-ws Qubes OS 3.1

[FWM]

Wickr is a secure messaging app https://wickr.com/security#encryption

First to get Wickr to work on the whonix-ws i had to install the following packages;

libavutil52_9.18-0ubuntu0.14.04.1_amd64.deb
libicu52_52.1-8ubuntu0.2_amd64.deb
libsqlcipher0_3.2.0-1.1~bpo80+1_amd64.deb
libx264-142_0.142.2389+git956c8d8-2_amd64.deb
libgstreamer-plugins-base0.10-0
gtk2-engines-pixbuf

wickr-me_2.6.0_amd64.deb (of course)

The app seems to be working ok (havent tested all functionality)

I had a couple of questions tho:

1. Could any of these packages interfere with the anonymity of the whonix-ws?

2. Should i even run Wickr from a Whonix-ws? Or just use a deb template & route it through a Whonix-gw?

3.1 wicker has the option to put in proxy details. IP & port. Im not clear if its socks5 of not. should i put some information in here so Wickr creates its own unique TOR route? which IP should i use 127.0.0.1 or....?

3.2 Ive heard if an app isn't using a socks5 proxy setting it will still use Whonix-gw, but not create its own unique route. I believe this opens up the risk of cross analysis of network activity on?

Thanks

I don't see anytjhiong Qubes specific here - you'd probably get a better
response on the Whonix forums:

Fyi Signal Messenger is open source and includes message disappearing
functionality if that's all you're after.

Runs as a Chrome/ium extension on desktop.

You do have to link it to a phone. If all you're after is a secure
messaging app for the Desktop, I'd check out https://tox.chat
