Bug Description

Just what it says on the tin. I believe this can be done with a configuration keyfile.

I'd prefer upstream to make this change and not mess with ugly config tweaks myself :)

Uh, do you mean get upstream to implement an easy toggle for the icon? Because for sure they're not going to get rid of the icon.

It's simple to do. Remove the plank.dockitem in /.config/plank/launchers !

I'd rather prevent its creation than remove it. Removing it is hackish. We need to figure out when and under what circumstances plank.dockitem is created. Its creation is not in /etc/skel/ and not in packaging scripts. We need to ask Plank devs about it.

I agree with shnatsel. I have reported the feature request in upstream Plank.

For some reason the Plank icon is appearing again. I've noticed it creep in on two systems now. I can't tell what makes it appear, but once it does I can't get rid of it. There is no plank.dockitem to delete. Right-click->'Close' doesn't do anything. Enabling and disabling 'Keep in Dock' doesn't do anything either. (I have to do that sometimes when the AppCenter icon gets stuck down there with update notification.)
