Bug Description

If rhythmbox_control.py is enabled and Rhythmbox is running, the context menu of the rhythmbox icon shows controls in the following order:

Open
-------
Next
Pause
Previous
   ^
[Rhythmbox icon]

"Next" and "previous" should be switched, as "next" is the control one is most likely to want to hit. Putting it closer to the rhythmbox icon makes it much more accessible (you don't have to aim as much).

Docky version: bzr docky r1048
CLR version: 2.0.50727.1433

Assigning me because this just reminded me that I wanted to add a field to the dbus api to allow helpers to specify a "priority" value when they add menu items, this way Docky can sort internally on that priority value and helpers can have some sort of way to specify the order of their items.

@kai: I see your point and I will follow your suggestion. It's more convenient in this order.

@chris: The order of menuitems are controlled by the order they are getting added to the menu. So the helper can already control the order of their menuitems. But with a priority-value it would be possible to replace an item without rebuilding the whole menu.

Sorry, that was too fast, they are getting ordered by Docky.

I think the real bug here is that they need to be all on the same line. We need a way for helpers to tell docky that ;)

@Dan,

Yeah, but this more or less could be possible with my proposed change. Giving 2 menu items with the same "priority" would put them on the same line...

I've sorta fixed this in Docky, rev 1584. Still haven't addressed how to add multiple menu items on the same line though.
