Starter can't be hidden in docks

[libbi]

Binary package hint: docky

On Maverick in Docky Configuration the option to hide starter is active and ticked, but it can't be unticked. So the starter can't be hidden. This problem is occuring in 2.1.0~bzr1653-0ubuntu1~10.10~dockycore1 as well as in the most recent version of docky in ubuntu universe.

Sorry, Docky is meant to be a window manager. So there is no way we will disable this. This option might be a bit confusing while using only one dock. In this case you cant disable it since one dock need to handle windows.

@Robert: We should consider to grey out this with only one dock present?

Thank you for pointing, I have found in the meantime, a guide on how to help with the starter can hide the gconf-editor.

Fixed in rev 1656.
