That's the main feature I need, anything else is a bonus
I've tried AWN, Docky, GLX-Dock, Cairo-Dock, SimDock & possibly others. IMHO they were all rubbish, lacking important features but stuffed with pointless eye-candy. An acid test for me is how well a panel or dock works arranged vertically - many developers do not test for this at all. The only one I've been able to live with for more than about 20min is ADeskBar. It's not in the repos (while none of the others deserve to be); you have to download the .deb from the devs' (French) website. -- Liam Proven • Info & profile: http://www.google.com/profiles/lproven Email: lpro...@cix.co.uk • GMail/GoogleTalk/Orkut: lpro...@gmail.com Tel: +44 20-8685-0498 • Cell: +44 7939-087884 • Fax: + 44 870-9151419 AIM/Yahoo/Skype: liamproven • MSN: lpro...@hotmail.com • ICQ: 73187508 -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
