Since we already have this item in the list, I think it could be nice to expand it a little by giving it a few options.
The options I will talk about already have some shortcuts spread in the help or menu to activate them.
I think it would be cool to group them and transform them into checkbox so we could also revert our actions (horrible for a noob in case of problem)

  • Launch on startup : use checkbox
  • Menu have icons : use checkbox
  • Metacity compositing : use checkbox
  • Compiz window preview : use checkbox ?

  • Old gconf key gnome/session/required_components/panel ??


(one of those point may help fix an issue opened in another thread)

I think that wouldn't require too much coding, a little translation maybe, help strings should reflect the new location.

bonus : We could also add some option to select the window manager (and decorator) for the cairo-dock session.
and much more if you think of other hidden gnome/gtk options (or some I could have missed already in the dock)
That would be cool to enhance our gnome integration, which is the point of this module.

the problem is that all these options are not Gnome specific.
also I don't think we activate the Compiz window preview (only Dbus and Scale IIRC).

bonus : We could also add some option to select the window manager (and decorator) for the cairo-dock session.

that's definitely something we sould push into the cairo-session project, not inside the binary
I didn't have time to polish it recently, but I really want to !
