Just a thought. You can disable the anchor icon in docky. And you can
have normal app launchers (ofc ;o). So, if cardapio is put as a normal
app launcher to the far left in the dock and auto started at boot you
would get the effect of the window unminimizing when you press the
icon and minimizing again if you close it (also you can presumably
intercept the click on the X to minimize as well) ... This would
increase responsiveness for cardapio and still keep the GUI experience
about the same. The only caveat I see is that it will show up in the
window picker and such ...

Also, I can not test super+space invocation since I use it for Synapse
;o) I checked the settings and saw I had it set to ctrl+esc for
cardapio (old habits die hard I guess ;o) And you are right, it pops
up instantly if invoked with that method ... So the problem seams to
be that docky is a bit retarded in how it starts programs. I wounder
if it does that for all programs??? I'll check and if it does I'll
post a bug report for docky. Delaying the users program launches for
no reason, what nonsense ;o)
