Hi Simon,
I've just been looking around the glx-dock/cairo-dock website.
My initial impression wasn't too good, but exploring shows there's more
promise.
I note particularly that it has sub-docks, which sounds like what I
want/need.
The manic animations are a turn-off for me, but it sounds like I may be
able to stop those.
I may well give it a try, though part of this was to try and tolerate
Unity as it's Ubuntu's default environment.
An awful lot of people seem to dislike Unity, though, so it may just
fade away.
Gordon.
