Public bug reported:

Running :
 version 2.1.0-alpha
 Ubuntu 9.04
 Cairo engine

This bug is more a clever idea that would make the dock more smooth
under the mouse move event.

I explain :

When moving the mouse overhe dock, the icons resizes under some views.
This is a great effect and it's awesomely coded :)

The only little detail I want to report is a feature from the OSX dock
On cairo-dock, the icons may resize when the mouse is actually ON an
icon. The condition MUST (or at least should) be "mouse ON THE DOCK",
that's to say on the panel and not on the icons. When you move, for
example on the dock at the extreme left or right, there's a little space
that's icon-free. When overing that zone, the icons just stop resizing,
and the smooth effect breaks down.

I think that's quite easy to fix because the code is obviously good. I
think you should just change the condition that triggers the magnifier
effect.

Moreover, I wonder if the user can disable that effect in the panel ?

Thanks for your attention, and good luck :)
