hey, I'm running 9.04, and I need to run Cario-dock as root, when the system starts up. right now I've added it to the startup app's, (command sudo cairo-dock) but all it does it start terminal. also, I have a different Icon theme for gnome than it shows in Cairo-dock. (meaning, I click on the gmenu icon, and the icons it shows are just the default. is there a way to change this?)
also, what is ubuntulooks? is it worth installing?

install Cairo-Dock2
then, in the menu -> System, select the one that fits your machine.
right-click -> cairo-dock -> theme manager
