[OT] Docks on Linux.

[Richmond]

I have long liked Avant Window Navigator: 
http://code.google.com/p/avant-window-navigator/

but it has been deprecated as its developer stopped work on it about 3 
years ago.

I have installed it on Ubuntu 'Rancid Raccoon' 13.04 and it is OK up to 
a point, but
starts playing silly bu**ers when one tries to install links to apps 
stored in non-standard places
(such as Livecode in one's 'Home' directory).

Tried 'Cairo Dock' - fioch.

Tried 'Docky' - fioch.

Any suggestions welcomed, short of using a second Taskbar at the bottom 
of my XFCE desktop.
