1) Ability to resize a window by click-dragging an edge. If you drag the
top or bottom edge, then only the height may change; if you drag the
left or right edge, then only the width may change. Click-dragging a
corner would continue to behave the way it currently does.
2) Ability to give the dock an ordered list of dockapps, and have it display
those dockapps in that order, regardless of what order the dockapps were
launched. Any dockapps not in the list would continue to behave the way
they currently do (i.e. get added to the end of the current display).
I'm current working around this issue by using a script along the lines
of the following:
dockapp1 &
sleep 5
dockapp2 &
sleep 1
dockapp 3 &
[etc.]
'sleep 1' compensates for minor differences in start-up speed. 'sleep 5'
compensates for my first-login-of-the-day being slower than usual (as
various nightly updates have used up all the cache and such, and it has
to toss that data and cache my desktop stuff instead).
