Long for a ‘main menu’ on Docky?
"I’ve been using AWN for quite sometime now, but that’s because of the lack of many docklets in Docky; the main-menu being an important one (at least for me)" he says on why he sought out a solution.
"What we do is change the "click" function of the Docky icon. So I modified that a bit, and got it to display the gnome-menu whenever I click the Docky icon."
Sounds neat, so how does one do it?
- Install "xdotool" (click here to install)
- Press ALT+F2 and type in "gconf-editor".
- Press enter.
- Navigate to /apps/docky-2/Docky/Items/DockyItem and double click on "DockyItemCommand"
- In the "value" field copy paste: xdotool key -clearmodifiers alt+F1
- Press OK and close the box.
- Click on the Docky icon
AkuBuntu I don't know if you are still monitoring this page, perhaps someone else does that can help me. I followed your instructions to a t:

Press enter.

Click on the Docky icon"
When I click on it, it acts like a "Hot Corner" instead of a menu. BTW I'm using Linux Mint Olivia v15/Cinnamon. Am I reading or doing it wrong when you say to add "xdotool key -clearmodifiers alt+F1" at the end of the string? or is it something different I should add to the string?
Right now I'm using my Mint panel at the top so I can access my menu. It works OK that way but I would rather have the menu on the Docky panel and disable my old panel.
Any help would be appreciated.
