I'm looking into that now. it's a PITA as LightDM doesnt work on
Natty. Maybe there's a PPA with updated packages.

Imagine a flat surface. Then you took something like a melon baller or
ice cream scoop and scraped out a straight line using half of the
scoop. I guess it would look like the shape of a pill, but cut in
half. But that recess, that "scoop" is where icons would sit.

I *hate* that this is the best example I can find in a pinch:

Alternatively, we could do something that makes the dock look
cut-through the wallpaper:

Savy?
