Comment 31 for bug 668415

I don't think that being able to move the dock to a different edge of the screen is just another nice to have feature. Every dock I've ever heard of has this feature, and moreover, the most common setup is to have it on the bottom edge. Therefore, the ability to have the dock on the bottom is basic functionality. If we were talking about regular panels this might be different, but the design of the dock and the items in it make it far more suitable for switching between horizontal and vertical layouts. If you will accept patches that add this basic functionality then this shouldn't be marked Won't Fix.
