[Bug 515365] Re: cairo dock ubuntu 9.10 no option to minimize windows to taskbar instead

[magicjoe]

YES! this version does not have many of the issues I had seen and found
"half way work arounds" to.  However, there is STILL the problem of
minimizing a window in the dock. If you check the box to make a thumbnail of
the minimized window appear in the dock, your icons in the dock become VERY
small. the thumbnail is too large and it just makes everything terrible. I
think for a next revision there should be a GUI section added for more
extensive options for this feature. It is a great idea, similar to MAC dock.
However its current functionality is only half baked. I was able to add the
command cairo-dock -c to startup so that it doesn't glitch out at startup
due the the Open GL being unstable still. and the saving and deleting themes
is fixed.
