<title>Description</title>
<para>
<type>GnomeDockItem</type> is a container widget that can be used to
make widgets dockable.  "Making a widget dockable" means that the
widget gets a handle through which users can drag it around the dock
widget or detach it so that it gets displayed into its own window
(thus becoming a "floating" item).

<para>
This enumeration can be used to customize the behavior of a dock item.
Every value represents a property bit, so that the properties can be
combined together by using the OR (`|') operator.
</para>

<para>
The special value GNOME_DOCK_ITEM_BEH_NORMAL specifies the ``normal''
(default) behavior, and means to have all the properties disabled (and
thus the corresponding bits set to zero).
</para>
