I assume you're talking about the Launcher. Have you tried having it
not auto-hide (so it's just there all the time)? I'm not at my home
(Ubuntu) box now, but I think it's in the compiz settings manager
(cssm?). Maybe in an "experimental" tab.
I agree that's a ridiculous place for it (and the Launcher icon sizing
pref) to be. I think the reasonable user expectation is that you
should just right mouse on the Launcher and get a "Launcher
properties" option. Or maybe put it with the other preferences. But
burying it in cssm is absurd. Also, I think many people have already
wondered why it can't be relocated to the bottom (default loc for the
Mac) or RHS.
