Lock icons and applets in place

[sam1234]

Feature request: I think it would be useful to have a configuration, hidden or covert, to lock all the icons and applets in place.

Rationale: I like to use a dock as a launcher/taskbar (like the OS X one). I have removed the application menu from Gnome and am using Docky to launch every one of the 25 desktop programs I regularly use. However, sometimes I accidentally remove them by dragging them out of the dock. This causes a great annoyance to me because I am unable to launch this application unless I can remember the command for it. Additionally, I have to re-add the launcher. A lock feature would remove such hassle for people who use docks in this way.

Perhaps a "Lock Icons in Place" or similarly named menu option in the menu of Docky icon?
Or in the config window?

@zekopeko: Doubtful we would do that. This feature does not seem like something that will ever make it into the config UI. That isnt to say it will never be possible (via a GConf setting).

@Robert Dyer: A GConf setting would satisfy me.

Fixed in rev 1369.

You have to set the gconf key and restart Docky.

The key is: /apps/docky-2/Docky/Interface/DockDragTracker/LockDrags
