I am not sure about that. Some questions:

- What does the Clip?

It can have icon attached and change the desktop using two small buttons. The 
applications attached can be set as multi-workspace (omnipresent), and the icon 
can be positioned in 2 dimensions (X-Y). The clip can be placed in any place in 
the screen, not only in borders.

- What does the Dock?

Dock can hold icons attached, but only in one dimension. The icons are always 
omnipresent. The dock cannot change the desktops (no buttons). It must be 
placed in the left or right scren border. The dock can launch an application, 
but not the clip.

If we need a dock doing the same things like the clip, then, we should use the 
clip and hide the dock.

But, IMO, we should work in have only one object type. No add more 
functionality to the current clip/dock. We could work in one clip/dock with all 
the functionality. No more clip, no more dock, only "a new dock". This new dock 
can change the destkops using the arrows, like the current clip, but can launch 
an application with double click in the center (in the no-arrow area). It could 
hold icons in two dimensions, like the clip,... And of course, we should run 
1,2 instances of this object, but why no 3 or 4? The arrows or other things 
could be configurable (show/hide) then we could have our old (current) clip or 
current dock. That could be better for the users, and less code for the 
developers. Yes, less code because the clip and the dock are using different 
code (mostly).
