Bug Description
The way Docky divides itself into two halves is horribly inconsistent, one half is dedicated to applications, and the other half is dedicated to....applications, and the trash bin. Making a distinction between apps that are docked, and those that aren't makes little sense, since as soon as a non-docked application is closed it fades away from the dock anyways. Furthermore, putting non-docked applications right next to the trash bin without any logical seperation between them provides even more inconsistency.
Apple's dock implementation has similar issues, where documents and minimized windows get jumbled together with the trash bin on the right side of the dock, but it's always clear that the left side is a set of applications.

The two sides are logically different, the left side is applications, the
right side is windows. This is a little bit confusing but this is how things
work in the GNOME world.
