That isn't avant. It is that new docker, I think it is for KDE.

hi, i got it working, though it is an old version, and haven't found out how to update yet. but, i downloaded the deb from this thread, first post by shivshakti (thanks),
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=312789&highlight=kiba-dock+download

there were two libs required also, which i installed via synaptic first: libglitz1, and libglitz-glx1. i then double-clicked the deb and it installed. i restarted after this (old windows habit, and probably not necessary!), kiba-dock was in the accessories menu, and i went from there. if you muck about, then you will get a stripey blue background, and you can drag items from the menu to it as you please.

there are some options missing, which i can do without till i can update, and i hope when i get it updated all will work even better.

great new gizmo to distract you from work! :-)

EDIT: weird, link not working - NOW fixed!
