that only creates a launcher pannel with lots of links. No taskbar utility is available in it.
this "trick" is something I discovered by accident looooong back.
sadly, side docks don't appeal to me.

and by a DOCK, I need something to store minimised apps.

and it should also not be resource heavy, so that dock software whose name I forgot can't be used.
