-------------------------------------------

...thinking - why I have 0.48 but numbers on my screen looks like 0.9.x ? , then searcing on /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages
I found the reason

Conclusion (..may help debugging process ) :

after all synaptic uninstall procedures dockbarx folder and related egg-info file on /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages ...they are not deleted

..my new files (0.48) were copied along old (0.9.x) files and old files were recalled anytime I use dockx command - so all went bad

Because synaptic uninstall will remove files on /usr/bin and /usr/share ..but not on /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages - therefore a lot of problems with different user cases

.. Alin maybe made a fresh install and all went ok ..but using a prior version of dockx - then replacing this version with a new one ..will result in a strange experience since dockbarx folder on /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages is not fully cleared before a new version is installed

when I manually deleted /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages and the egg-info file ..then awn dockx (0.48) back on track ...

later I will make a fresh install for version 0.9.x from BZR and I will post here the result
