Bug Description

I'm using Cairo-Dock 3.1.2
When I set my dock to panel mode, I can make a left and a right panel using a separator. But I don't want a left panel, so I moved the separator to the left. Now my panel is shown at the left, and I can't have a right panel without having a left panel too.

* Impact:
in docks, icons can be aligned (to the middle, right or left of the screen's border)
in "panel" mode, separators expand to fill the screen width (which separates icons in distinct groups), but when there is no separator, all icons are grouped togather, and in this case, they didn't respect the alignment parameter.

this can be quite annoying in some cases
for instance, this prevents the user from being able to move the icons away from the top-left corner of the screen, which is where window's controls are on Ubuntu.

The fix was to correctly take into account the alignment in this
particular case.

* Test Case:
create a dock with an icon inside, set this dock with the "panel" view, and then try to change the alignment to the right: it won't work

* Regression Potential: it only concerns the position of icons in docks with "panel" view and no separator in the dock, which is by itself not a common use case.
we checked that it didn't influence the placement of icons when there is at least 1 separator, and that icons can be placed on the left, middle and right when there is no separator.

Hi,
indeed, it's currently not possible. If there is only 1 group of icons in
the panel, it will be on the left.
Now, as a workaround until this gets fixed, you could just let 1 icon as
the first group (possibly making it transparent) and put all your icons in
the second group.
But I see that you also have a gnome-panel on the top of the screen ? Not
sure if it's a viable option.

That's not gnome-panel, that's actually the workaround you mentioned.
How can I make the first icon transparent?

@Arturo: sorry, I forgot to answer to your last question: you can simply create a png file with gimp which is fully transparent.

@fabounet: is this bug now fixed thank to the rev 2987?

Thanks for uploading the fix for this bug report to -proposed. However, when reviewing the package in -proposed and the details of this bug report I noticed that the bug description is missing information required for the SRU process. You can find full details at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates#Procedure but essentially this bug is missing some of the following: a statement of impact, a test case and details regarding the regression potential. Thanks in advance!
