Now this calls for a "WOW!!!", I'm impressed !! :-)

At first google helped me find something called "OxygenLeopard", a 
SuperKaramba widget that was pretty much a disaster, a simple python script 
that draws the icons. It had no way of configuring, and the script itself was 
pretty badly written.

Then I tried KoolDock, which looked much more promising. It was configurable, 
apparently did the job required, but somehow was "jumpy" in animation.

But then I tried the "real thing", and of course it completely outperforms 
KoolDock, and I guess pretty much everything else. It is beutiful, slick, 
smooth in animation, has bunch of themes, configurable beyond any 
imagination... I am considering to drop the plasma-panel (at least until kde 
4.1 comes around) as Cairo can be configured with equivalent functionality, 
even more, while it looks *much* better... I recommend it to everyone.

Thanks to Phil and others for the info, and especially the Fedora team who 
made this beautiful thingy available!
