On another note, docky is crashing on me all the time I use it. I am not aware of any dock launching alternative that is stable on my taste except that I haven't heavily tested GNOME Do. That thing is good only if you remember the names of your apps installed.

See GNOME Do ( http://do.davebsd.com/ ) for an example. I tried gnome-launch-box but it doesn't even come close. Maybe we can add (and improve) gnome-launch-box? On 12/03/2010 01:32 AM, Allan E.

Using additional methods of launchings apps would mean something is lacking in the default environment. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Stefano Facchini" <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Thursday, December 2, 2010 11:18:41 PM Subject: Re: Suggestion: Make a dock from application icons in overview I am using docky, too, for this purpose! But this should be a built-in feature of the shell, it is a much more consistent experience. For example, with docky I have to setup application launchers twice, as well as other customizations.
