Is There A Means Or A Way To Move Linux Ubuntu's New Unity GUI's 'The Launcher' From The Default Left Edge Of The Desktop Monitor Screen And Position It To The BOTTOM Of The Desktop/Monitor Screen?
Hello. I have a question regarding Linux Ubuntu v.11.10 64-bit operating system.
Regarding the new Unity GUI desktop screen since the inception of Ubuntu v.11.04, there is now a left side screen dock for application shortcuts called the "Launcher". I see the Launcher dock is visible when active by input device interaction and 'appears' to be permanently placed or mounted to the left edge of the desktop/ monitor screen.
My thread question is:
Is there a means or a way to move the Launcher from the default left edge of the desktop/monitor screen and position it to the BOTTOM of the desktop/ monitor screen with the same visible when active interaction?
If it is possible, how what I perform this task?
Please answer all these applicable specific questions too:
(a) Is there some Ubuntu inherent setting that allows for repositioning the Launcher dock and mounting it to another edge of the desktop or monitor screen I need to know about lke being user customizable? Please explain.
(b) Is there some Terminal command line script I need to enter to move the Launcher dock? Please explain.
(c) If you know of the Terminal command line script, could you also let me know of the antidote like another Terminal command line script or the way to restore the Launcher dock back to its original left edge of the desktop or monitor screen as well if I ever wished too? Please explain.
Please reply.
Thank you!

@ DaveBaldwin & sharonseth:
Hello again.
I wish hoping for sharonseth to reply to his comment because he explains a set of steps without any reference or association to a specific program he alludes to. It appears sharonseth KNOWS HOW, but he didn't explain the reference or association to the particular program. Could it be 'piggybacking' off of DaveBaldwin's comment by chance??? That is steps in Ubuntu Tweak by chance?
I took a little time to research with the Ubuntu Tweak program (installed that is) to see if the steps indicated by sharonseth were somewhere part of a particular function or feature of Ubuntu Tweak. I did not readily see anything associated with it, but it does not mean it is not there since there are so many functions and features that come with Ubuntu Tweak that it might indeed be there. I guess we will never know.
Because sharonseth did not respond in a further comment and I could not readily find any set of steps associated with some function or feature sharonseth's exemplifies in his comment with Ubuntu Tweak, I am only awarding DaveBaldwin the full points BASED ON the manner this question/thread has concluded. The truth is, there MAY INDEED be a way or means (an affirmative answer and solution) to my question/thread and very well be through the program Ubuntu Tweak.
This is one of those EE questions that hinders the questioner more than anyone else – the worst set of conditions for the questioner.
Again, thank you for your comments.
