Bug Description

This is just a quibble. When Docky is not running, and one simply wants to find the current version, the command docky -V should only print the relevant information to stdout and and return to the shell prompt, like most programs do. In my case, however, it starts the application also. (But if it detects an instance of Docky already running, it exits.)

We dont have a '-V' argument. You can get the version from 'docky --help' though.

Oh. The man page requires editing, then. :)

We have a man page?! Seriously did not know that.

rdyer@narmada:~/branches/docky$ man docky
No manual entry for docky
See 'man 7 undocumented' for help when manual pages are not available.

I have no idea where you found it, but it isn't ours (as far as I know).

I assumed it came with the package.

Yes, the man page is included in the packaging and it is obviously pretty outdated :(
