Description-en: Metapackage for cairo-dock
Cairo-dock has a family-likeness with OS X dock, but with more options.
It uses cairo to render nice graphics, and Glitz to use hardware acceleration.
It's fully configurable and can be a taskbar too.
You can easily plug applets into it.
.
This is metapackage that provides the components necessary for running
Cairo-dock. This installs a cairo-dock-core application and cairo-dock-plugins
package easily.
.
And Cairo-dock installs cairo-dock-core and plugins and makes sense as
Cairo-dock.
