I really like the way unity API is designed and do agree that it's better than 
dockmanager. Except for the need of this hack it was a quite pleasant excerice 
to implement it in DockbarX. As long as the dialog is with other dock 
developers is kept open I think it's great.


DockbarX is right now taking over com.canonical.Unity if unity is not running 
and it works fine except for Chromium/chrome users. Chromium also uses 
com.canonical.Unity to check wheter unity is running and removes 
maximize/minimize/close buttons if it does.

Would it be possible for libunity to check not only for
com.canonical.Unity but also for another unique address that other docks
could use? If that address is used only for this purpose any dock could
own it without any side effects. One other address is enough since - as
you mentioned - it doesn't matter who owns it as long as it is owned by
someone.
