Dock Bar for Ubuntu in 2010.
pictures from ubuntu geekBy the way, they are around for a while, but not everyone knows. So as many ignore what is the actual level of a Ubuntu Desktop. Anyway, we have two choice and none of the two come enabled by default. Avant-Window-Navigator is the first that appeared during 2008 while Cairo Dock is the youngest one. I use Avant since a year or more and works fine. Cairo seems a little more shiny, I will give a try soon. Anyway, get rid of the default bottom bar and use one of this two more useful and shiny dock bar. hint: both applications are available through official Ubuntu software channels while instructions may guide you to use the dedicated channels to access newest version of the software. Your choice.
