Bug Description

Hi, I love cardapio. It's the fastest menu applet i've come across ( I use it for AWN and Docky)

I was wondering if you could possibly add the ability to start cardapio at X / Y screen coords. show-near-mouse is a working feature, but I move my mouse a lot and don't always want me menu to pop out where my mouse is. I often click then move, or when I open cardapio from the keyboard shortcut, it pops up in the middle of the screen.

Just a request, thanks for your time!

Good idea. I'm currently looking at writing an AWN applet for Cardapio, and it would probably require a parameter for opening at some coordinates (x,y) on the screen. So when I implement this I'll just go ahead and expose the parameter to the command line too :)

I've changed the title because I don't want to connect this bug with AWN. Even though I've already implemented the start at (x, y) feature on my Docky branch, I hope that none of our users we'll need to use this since we're working on native AWN & Docky integration.

The method is implemented - it's called "show_hide_near_point" and is accessible through D-Bus. The so called "docky-mode" uses this. As I've written in the previous comment, I'm closing this issue even though there's no "cardapio show-near-x-y x y" method available to users.
