[Bug 1496509] [NEW] Option to remove Unity Launcher - feature request

 

Public bug reported:

I think that it would be really good if there was not just an auto-hide
option to hide the Unity Launcher but also a way of getting rid of the
Launcher by not just auto-hiding it, but actually turning it 'off'. For
this is the reason why I moved away from Unity and to GNOME because I
wanted to replace the Unity Launcher properly with Docky, but as there
was no proper way of doing this I had to move away from Unity to
properly achieve this, but I would have very happily stayed if there was
just an option not to use the default built-in Unity Launcher, so I
propose a new feature that would allow for you to turn the Unity
Launcher off if you want to use another docking program instead of it.
