(ob3) maximise over dock, switch focus dialog

[MXN]

I understand these issues have been addressed, but I just wanted to 
assert my opinion on the mailing list.

Maximise over dock

I don't like the dock causing windows to not maximise fully. The 'fix', 
I think, is to make the dock floating and put it where you want it. This 
is OK, but consider the following scenario: I use gkrellm with the xmms 
plugin. When xmms is active, gkrellm's height changes. If I run gkrellm 
in the dock (gkrellm -w), float the dock, and run xmms, gkrellm will 
expand so that it doesn't fit on the screen.

Actually setting the float position is an annoying matter of trial and 
error, and is resolution dependant, which could prove a problem.

If "maximise over dock" was implemented, I could position the dock in 
the BottomRight, and it would expand along with gkrellm as necessary. 
Then windows could be maximised to fit the screen nicely.

(I understand this is sheer pedantry, but I'd like to see it :-)


Switch focus dialog

As I understand it, the dialog that appears when you cycle window focus 
*only* appears if a modifier is used in the keybind. The dialog isn't 
too intrusive, but I like using A-Tab to cycle, and would very much like 
to see the option to turn this dialog off re-implemented into ob3.


Cheers.
