Re: ...docks?

I have tried fancy tasks without any real issues, though I find that the built in "task manager" drain some resources, at least on my system. I used to run smooth tasks for that instead.
both should be in the repos

sudo apt-get install plasma-widget-fancytasks plasma-widget-smooth-tasks

The one I use now is Icon-tasks which isn't really a dock like the others but I like it.
add this repo

sudo add-apt-repository ppa.launchpad.net/hrvojes/kde-goodies/ubuntu

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install plasma-widget-icons-tasks

Not tried daisy on Oneiric, not have any trouble with it inb the past, however I find the gtk dependencies disturbing.

I use Cairo dock without any problems. Just remember to set start new session at startup in the system settings otherwise you will end up with multiple copies of Cairo dock running.

System Settings | Startup and Shutdown | Session Management | On Login

Thanks SteveRiley for following up to how to start / set startup with empty / new session. I would have had a hard time with posting an illustration.
