I decided to try cairo dock to see if I could use it to get around my problem with gnome launchers screwing app behavior up.
Am I the only one to want to run terminal apps with this thing? Or have I missed something?
If you use "run in terminal", it uses xterm instead of gnome-terminal. I can't figure out how to change this, and unfortunately no matter what language I select, their web site comes up mostly in French, so I will not be getting an answer there.
If you just use a command "gnome-terminal -e whatever" it ignores the switch and just jumps to the nearest open terminal.
Also, it will not background itself with most windows unless I set the window fullscreen -- which not all windows can do that. This may be the WM's fault.
Looks nice, but seems totally useless...
