For 11.10

The following terminal commands will set the launcher to always show:

First install the dconf-tools:

sudo apt-get install dconf-tools

Then input these lines to configure the launcher:

dconf write /com/canonical/unity-2d/launcher/hide-mode 0
dconf write /com/canonical/unity-2d/launcher/use-strut true

Do you have the link to this project or something so we can link to that instead of debs on dropbox? – Jorge Castro Sep 25 '11 at 20:20
I'm not sure, but I think this is the blog post of the guy who made the application: http://marianochavero.wordpress.com/2011/04/20/a-simple-gui-for-unity-2d-settings-ubuntu-11-04/ – RobinJ Sep 26 '11 at 14:57
