Comment 3 for bug 420417

I do, but I don't find it so nice ^_^
it's a bit unlogical to me, that the dock reacts on mouse hover but not on
click.
well, I''ve recently implemented the concept of "extended panel mode", where
the dock fills the whole screen's width, maybe that will fits you, I invite
you to test it ;-)
