Something to think about: when you right click an entry on the window
list applet on gnome or even on other platforms, you can press "C" to
close the window or window group. That's what I do all the time and it
makes the operation much faster. Though I use the touch pad most of the
time, even if I was on a mouse, my left hand would still be holding "C".
Like Docky, you need a mouse to initiate interactions with the window
list applet. If I'm used to this kind of operation, I will be slowed
down a bit when I choose to switch from the window list applet to Docky.

What I liked about GNOME Do is that it allowed me to do more things with
the keyboard in an efficient way. This isn't about the bug anymore, but
this is a related feature request. If there is a way to interact with
Docky entries without using the mouse, Docky would be more feature-rich
and that would allow us all to do things faster. On Konqueror, if you
press "Alt," you will get a shortcut key for each link in the webpage.
Though I'm not sure that it's the best idea for a webpage (because some
webpages just have too many links among other issues), it would be a
helpful feature for Docky when executed well. For example, if you press
"win+alt+F", Firefox's right click menu will be activated on Docky then
you can just click its mnemonic. That's going to make window management
a lot faster.

Right click menus on Docky, unlike typical GNOME apps, don't have mnemonic keys
