I would like to modify unity to not show the launcher (left side bar) at all. I'm not looking for any solution that would let the launcher be in some cases visible. I really want it to completly disappear. It's a gift for my fiance and I want to achieve the highest possible Woman Acceptance Factor for her linux laptop which is running a docky dock with fancy icons that make it look like being from that known and fruity company.  Any hints about which packages and which source files I should study?   I'm hoping it to be as easy as commenting out the line with "unity.launcher.show()" and recompiling :-)  Thank you!
How can we remove the launcher that come with Unity on this new Ubuntu version ?
I have put a bounty on , however I don't see it appear in the  (also not when I'm not logged in).  Why is this. Aren't all bounty questions supposed to be visible there?
