    Good job… glad to see someone so thorough. I thought I was the only fastidious person out there. Recommending this to fellowship of Linux users.

    To create a cheap-o Artha dockley with Docky, create a 1×1 pixel transparent artha.png, then move it to /usr/share/pixmaps/artha.png. This eliminates the tray icon, but artha will still be running in the tray. Then add your artha launcher to the docky panel. You will get your hotkey definition notifications, and can use the docky icon to open artha. Viola – a docky handler for artha!
