This means that it has to be about whatever you want to protect and not about the docks.
But I don't think that you want to protect the icon geometry. You try to fix symptoms instead of the problem. The symptoms are: two $whatever managing the icon geometry, but the problem is that there are two desktop shells. What I think what you want is a way to protect that there is more than one desktop shell. That is a selction for desktop shell. So you would have to do "unity -- replace" or "plasma-desktop --replace" to switch desktop shell. What do you think about that? Does that fix what you want to achieve (just for the case you aren't I have some arguments against protecting the icon geometry :-) Cheers Martin Gräßlin
