Passa: I understand your frustration. But here are your options:

1) Go upstream and try to help out GNOME with patches or ideas on patches.
2) Unsubscribe from this bug.
3) Try a different desktop environment.

I'm very sorry that you've been badly afflicted by this bug but there is nothing that can be done until there is someone that can do it. The best that we (as in Ubuntu/launchpad) can do is generate ideas and patches (which has been done) until something happens.

This bug is certainly an example of one of the problems that plagues GNOME: five+ year old annoyance bugs. But unless there is something we can do personally to help, I don't think we have a right to swear up a storm (on an indirect bug report, no less).

Also, side note to Kevin. I think you might find with some research that Mac is actually the one that, in closed-source fashion, recreated the Looking-Glass dock :).
