Title:
Add a way to selectively disable Unity features: Dash, Launcher,
Panel, Switcher

Bug description:
Various users have trouble with Unity in their setups: multiple
monitors, portrait monitors, right-to-left languages all present
challenges.
Luckily, there's a lot of free software there to fill in the gap.
Unfortunately, there's no way in Unity (3D) to selectively disable
those parts we want to replace. (Unity 2D is made of separate
programs, but Unity 3D is a single Compiz plugin.)
See this forum post for an example:
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=11368937
My suggestion is to allow a simple on/off switch for features in the
Unity plugin settings page in Compiz:
[x] Launcher
[x] Dash
[x] Panel
[x] Application Switcher
Thus, if I want to replace Launcher with DockbarX, AWN or Launchy, I
can easily turn it off, while keeping all the other goodies Unity as
to offer.
I believe this straightforward solution will go a long way to ease the
growing pains some of us are experiencing with Unity.
I am willing and able to develop this myself and submit a patch.
HOWEVER, I want to be absolutely sure that this feature will be
approved first before wasting my time.
