I should also add - the only possible option now stays "Autohide" (for
those who really need "window dodge", the option "Always show" is not an
option at all). Which means when I am working only with one (right)
hand, to be able to work quickly, I cannot - as I should use the left
hand to reveal the launcher by clicking the "Super" key. Earlier, when I
just needed to access dash to search for some app or smth, I always had
a chance to leftmouseclick the dash icon right away - and now I need
either two hands or one additional action to do - to move the mouse
pointer hitting the screen edge (which is also a bit of a lottery at
current stage - it's improving, but still), so now it takes more time to
achieve the goal. I am not even talking about the elegance of the
"window dodge" effect.

Sometimes I think that maybe the argument about new users not being able
to understand "where did the launcher go" after maximizing the window is
all about the compiz "Sticky windows" effect being turned on by default.
For me, the first thing I do after reinstalling, I install the CCSM, and
turn on the "Wobbly windows" effect. The "Sticky windows" conflicts with
that, so it's being switched off, though I don't see any problem with
that - I always use the "Shift" key to stick the window to some object
on the screen. So when you use the "Wobbly windows" when maximizing
window, you just can't really miss what is going on, and where the
launcher goes. So I think this might be the solution for some. Actually
I don't imagine ubuntu without "wobbly windows" - are you going to
restrict THAT as well??
