I was looking at 11.04 pre-Alpha and wondering if I can change the dock orientation. Does the pre-Alpha have this function? Is the idea being implemented as we speak? If not where can I propose this idea?

This feature request was reported as a bug recently, but the request was declined.

Mark Shuttleworth answered:

I'm afraid that won't work with our broader design goals, so we won't implement that. We want the launcher always close to the Ubuntu button.

I've no idea whether this is being implemented or not (edit: see fluteflute's answer here), but:

There isn't a proposal yet for your idea, so i suggest you add one. By the way, they are indeed being read by the Ubuntu developers.

unity wont support changing the launcher(please dont call it dock) position afaik. it might have something to do with the fact that ubuntu button in the top left have a relationship with the launcher e.g. the icon will glow if there is pending notification in one of the running apps.

No, The position of the launcher is fixed (left) but and I wished to change the position too, so rather than changing I set it to auto-hide which is effectively good option (without using any external apps). The launcher when hovered overlaps the opened application rather than shrinking the size. So thats equally good. :)
