Title:
Unity Dash: The Dash does not get recognized by docks like Docky,
Not sure why, but I think the dash identifies itself as a dock for
accessibility reasons, and to ensure onscreen keyboards always come over
it.
Can anyone on the Unity team clarify on this?

This window has a dock type (_NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE_DOCK), therefore is
ignored by Cairo-Dock.
I don't know why the devs have decided to make the Dash window a dock
(there is certainly a reason), but what's sure is that you can never
access Cairo-Dock if the Dash is opened (because they are both dock
matttbe, here the output:
sleep 5 xwininfo xprop
xwininfo: Please select the window about which you
would like information by clicking the
mouse in that window.

Hello and thank you for this bug report!
I'm not sure that this dash is a common window.
Is it possible to launch these two commands from a terminal, select your Unity
Dash (I guess you can open it with a shortkey or you can add a delay by adding
'sleep 5 ' before these commands) and post here
Shouldn't this be filed as a bug with the individual docks? Because the
Dash is meant to stay BEHIND windows like the onboard keyboard, while
the docks should not stick above.
