Some of these links confirm +variously that dockbarx works under gnome-classic, in both gnome-panel +and stand-alone mode. +Note that most of the feedback was from ubuntu users, which from the +comments seems to be on Gnome3. +>><i> My first reaction was, being a Gnome user myself, that if everything +</I>>><i> is as stated, I tend to agree. +</I>>><i> But following the links, as well as working under gnome-shell, and +</I>>><i> having a stand-alone mode, it works with compiz (which will appeal +</I>>><i> to some users), and there are ports under development for gtk3 and +</I>>><i> xfce. +</I>>><i> +</I>><i> What works with compiz?

So you're adding something wile you might not have it +</I>><i> for long. +</I>><i> +</I> +Firstly, the fallback mode will be around for a little while. +And the developers are working on ports to gtk3 and xfce, so assuming +that that continues, dockbarx won't be dependant on fallback mode. +However, projects don't always continue, even although it was started in +2009, and under development in November. +BTW, the developers do mention that dockbarx will require some changes +to work directly under the Gnome 3 api. +Also, I understand that this is not immediately evident, as they don't +have a feature list on their site, nor a development milestone. Their +site could use a little more coherence. + +I'm not necessarily saying that we should import it. +Only that it is not restricted to Gnome 2. In the short term with +fallback mode, and according to the long-term goals of the developers. +If everyone else thinks that we should say wontfix for now, I don't have +a problem with that. +><i> Just asking for input btw.
