And why isn't it enough?

I think you can get it by "dock-item" data but it's probably better to 
add a function in anjuta-dock.c if it's needed.

There is a function anjuta_dock_present_pane that will make sure that 
the pane is visible. Isn't it possible to use it?


Anyway, I have planned to spend more time on GDL. Could you explain me 
what is needed in more details and I will try to implement. I still need 
a few time to read again GDL code and understand how it's working.

I think you need to set the shortcut on the GtkAction, but I haven't 
take care of this. There are a few bug reports related to shortcut (by 
example https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=678275), so it's 
quite possible that there are some issues here.
