Hi,

This topic has received no attention for a long time, however it seems
of large interest to me. I was happy with my launcher up until an update
a few weeks ago, with two major unfortunate changes:

First, the dust bin icon is locked, as described in this topic.

Second, the sensitivity area (that makes the launcher automatically
scroll up or down) has been narrowed down to two tiny spots, none of
which even extend to the upper or lower edges of the screen. This
demands precision and patience, for no gain with respect to the previous
version.

I do have about 15 icons that I use on a daily basis (one and a half
times the height of the screen), and the dust bin isn't even part of
them, so this new version of the launcher represents quite a waste of
time to me.

Title:
  Rubbish bin (trash) launcher icon should be unlockable

Status in Ayatana Design:
  Incomplete
Status in Unity:
  Expired
Status in “unity” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  At the moment, the Rubbish bin icons is locked to the launcher by
  default.

  Some people don't need such access to the rubbish bin.

  This icon should have the option "Unlock from Launcher" in its
  quicklist so people who don't find it useful can make some space in
  their launcher.

  As this icon is not really an app, maybe it would be more suitable to
  be able to enable or disable them from System Settings -> Appearance,
  CCSM or gconf-editor.
