Title:
  Unity dock does not obey compiz window rules plugin

Status in Unity:
  Incomplete
Status in “unity” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: unity

  I have a window which is set by window rules to skip taskbar and be
  unclosable.  To be precise, I have an instance of the terminal
  emulator terminator as part of my desktop background (i.e. I made it
  unclosable, skip taskbar, unminimizable, unmaximizable, fixed size,
  fixed placement, unmovable, sticky, undecorated)  I have other windows
  of the same class that should be picked up by the taskbar.  If I open
  an ordinary terminator window, the dock says there are two
  terminators, and allows me to close my (supposedly uncloable)
  background terminator.  If I close the normal window, it still says
  there is one terminator open, which is the background terminator it is
  not supposed to see, as you can confirm by trying to close it.  You
  will also get the same issue if you try to make a launcher on the
  unity dock for terminator.  This bug did not exist in gnome-panel - it
  also doesn't appear in cairo-dock.  So I presume that unity's taskbar
  has something wrong with it.

  To reproduce:

  Install terminator from the repository.

  Set Skip Taskbar and nonclosable in Window Rules to role=testing.

  Run 'terminator --role=testing' (My Alt-F2 refuses to run this; you
  may need to use a terminal to run the command)

  Open another terminator instance without the --role=testing switch,
  and/or try to make terminator a launcher.  You will observe the dock
  misbehaving.
