actually the problem persists, a popup covers the whole bottom of the
screen (and therefore docky or any app that has buttons on the bottom).
my (not very good) attempts to change this have been mostly ignored
( https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=612014 ). i just gave up.

as i don't use multiple workspaces, for me, gnome-shell at the moment is
just the old top panel without the (good) application menu and an
annoying notification system.
i hope this changes with the mentioned extensions, as i really like the
idea behind it.
