Comment 57 for bug 668415

Even when all the arguments have already been presented here, I would like to say that I like the way Ubuntu 11.04 looks, but it is completely absurd that even Windows and OSX let you move the taskbar/dock however you want, and its main "open-source" counterpart does not. From the point of view of a normal user like me, the whole Unity concept is an improvement, but the restrictions are more reasonable for netbooks or mobile devices, not for desktops.
Please let us know when there is a community-based alternative for this rather simple customization request.
