Hallo Jeff,
simdock is fun, but you can install THE DEFINITIVE DOCK: AWN,  with a lot of
themes, applet and so for ...


You need Compiz or another compositing window manager for Avant Window
Navigator, so if that won't install you can't run AWN. 



Just enable composite manager in Setting manager -> Windows Manager Tweaks"
-> Compositor -> Enable display compositing

Add this repository in /etc/apt/sources.list 

deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/reacocard-awn/ubuntu gutsy main



deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/reacocard-awn/ubuntu gutsy main


Also, these instructions are geared towards 7.10. It's best to follow the
official instructions at http://wiki.awn-project.org/Installation



Update your system

apt-get update

Then install AWN

sudo apt-get install avant-window-navigator-bzr awn-core-applets-bzr
awn-manager-bzr

The result of your desktop may be similar to mine:

Sorry for being a pain,

I got Openoffice installed (that's everyone!). It's using JRE which
I don't care for, but at this point at least it functions :)

So now I'm starting to play with XFCE to see what I can do.
Not to cause any problems, but I like the desktop at
Dreamlinux (www.dreamlinux.com.br) which I think uses
Compiz. I followed Vincent's instructions for installing and
running Compiz, but it wouldn't work. I think it's because I'm
using an old SIS chipset (SIS 630?). But the funny part is that
I can run the DreamLinux desktop (differences in the Compiz
build?).

So I started looking around at Docks that kind of sort of look
like the Mac OS X one. I found Simdock and installed it. Has
anyone configured it on their desktop? How can I replace the
panel in XFCE to use Simdock?

Third question (last one for today I think) - I was looking around
for E17. I could only find e16 and "enlightenment" but I didn't
find e17. Does anyone know where I could find e17? Also, if
I install it, will gdm pick it up so I can just choose from the
session?

Thanks!

Jeff

P.S. So far I think Xubuntu is just great! I've been a Redhat person
for a long time and Xubuntu is just great for my little old laptop!
Very easy to use and the wireless setup is great!
