Is it possible to configure the dock to allocate a strip of space, so
that it doesn't overlap any frames? I didn't find anything in dock.lua,
so I'm guessing not. So I guess this is a feature request. :-)
You're right, you can't do this at the moment. There was some skeleton code to this effect in Per's original dock, but I haven't incorporated it.
In principle, it shouldn't be too hard to re-factor the dock code so that it acts like a magic client window that parents all dockapps and can then be manipulated like a normal client window. I don't know how you'd reserve a strip of screen space for it, though. You'd have to ask Tuomo.
I'm pretty pushed for time at the moment (starting a job search for IT jobs around Grenoble, France), so no promises as to when I'd be able to implement your feature request. Of course the code is LGPL'd so embrace and extend at your leisure!
Regards,
Tom
