Bug Description
If I use a dock app other than Unity Launcher (e.g. Docky, AWN, Cairo Dock, Plank etc.) and use an animation for minimizing my open windows (for example, 'Magic Lamp'), the animation should be ending on my dock app's icon for that window. However, more often than not, Unity's Launcher steals that end point, so on minimizing the animation's end point goes to the Launcher instead on the other dock app as it should. Same thing with the start point for the restore animation. This is most frustrating for me, it looks disgusting.

There is actually nothing that can be done here. Only 1 location on the screen can be the icon region for an application. If you run more than 1 dock, then they will (at best) fight to set that region. Unity updates the region more often than say Docky, so it 'wins' in that situation. There is nothing the docks (or Unity) can do here.
