The <a href="http://www.xiaprojects.com/www/prodotti/kxdocker/main.php">latest release</a> is 0.39, but Breezy only has 0.35. Lots of changes have been made, such as French and German language support.

Features added on KXDocker 0.39
Engine: buble are done with more accurate timings
Engine: No more icon cache, so KXDocker use ONLY 40MB of ram, it's only to store active icons
Command parser (1/10) parsed commands
New Engine without moving KXDocker, so we are ready for composite manager, WHEN it WILL be stable.
A lot of new features on plugin managenment, like ttl, rolling and Plugin of Plugin Manager!! (look at GIPContrack attached to xARP)
New translation: FR
New translation: DE
Highlight icon configuration

other Fix-changelog on KXDocker 0.39
Some background bad draw fixes
More fast engine, try to lower sleeps or disable interpolation
bad redraw when set desktop=0 and disable fasthide be more fast
xCommand bug: onDropExec run another cmd, please make carefull

Is Kxdocker actually any good yet? Faster and smoother than engage? My experience with recent builds has continued to be too poor due to dismal performance on a 2.3 ghz althon xp. I heard engage has stopped being developed as a standalone application, can anyone verify kxdocker is "any good"?

Wow! It only uses 40MB of RAM? An small application launcher with pretty icons that get magnified when you hover over them with your mouse.. 40 MB of RAM seems reasonable for that......

(not!)

LOL

My personal fave is KSmoothdock (http://kde-apps.org/content/show.php?content=6585).

It's named after Madison, the full database-powered tool that the build servers use....
