Thanks for reminding! Would anyone object if I enable JonCruz' docked

As long as it's been found to be stable, I think that'd be a good idea

to do.  If we find it has stability issues in the next few weeks of

testing, we can always flip it back off.


I had actually been thinking about that, but was holding off to see what other people think.

I have a few things that can be done to attack it... at the moment it requests the minimum size recommended by GTK+. I was thinking of allowing a manual override, but also of doing some other calculation and requesting smaller. Between those we'd probably have a more functional first impression.
