AWN Manager – Mac OSX like dock for Ubuntu

I installed AWN Manager on Ubuntu, following the instructions here.
Here is what I liked.
- It looks cool
- Can auto-hide, giving you more desktop real estate.
- Has cool applets like fortune which I enjoy reading and reminds me of bash days.
What I didn’t like
- It crops up when you don’t want it to.
- A little buggy, it doesn’t show when you want it to! and sometimes the icons goes missing, a refreshing of the screen fixing this issue.

Have you tried cairo-dock? I have been using it for quite some time (I tried awn before that) and it really works well.
Thanks for the suggestion, just tried it and looks cool!
