Comment 212 for bug 733349

@danillo: yes, it could, but it will require too much effort do keep the new plugin updated with oficial version.

Another problem is that if we create a new plugin for each option, there is no possibility to combine the options between plugins. I mean, we can't have a launcher in bottom *and* minimize on click functionality, beacuse each feature resides on a different plugin.

Anyway, the feature was not accepted in upstream because "This is not an option I [Mark Shuttleworth] want to carry in the codebase."[1], despite the change represents only 0.09% of unityshell (the option adds 60 lines to the 62644 lines of unityshell plugin).
