Bug Description
I just installed 2 different flavors of Ubuntu: Elementary OS Freya 14.04 and Ubuntu Gnome 16.04.1.
The first thing I installed on each was Docky, however on each the Bookmarks docklet was not functioning at all.
I ran docky with the --debug function and found that it was looking for the bookmarks in the wrong directory:
[Error 20:33:30.609] [BookmarksItemP
This is the wrong path AND wrong filename for the bookmarks it needs.
The correct path is:
/home/<
the correct filename is:
bookmarks
:~/.config/gtk-3.0$ ls
bookmarks
I would fix this if I knew where the docklet code was stored, and if it was in plain text format. But I don't know any of these things. So I hope someone fixes this asap.
There are some other problems like the weather and npr don't ever work (npr requires your gmail to accept less secure apps) but I don't really care about them since I don't need to use those features.

I fixed this temporarily by making a symbolic link from the missing file to the correct file:
ln -s /home/< yourusername> /.config/ gtk-3.0/ bookmarks /home/< yourusername> /.gtk-bookmarks
I did this because just copying the actual bookmark file caused the Workspace Switcher docklet to malfunction.
