Hi :) Is there a generic term that covers taskbar, dock, panel? Many users will see all these things as being very much alike. Geeks know that they are completely different of course but many people don't even know the name for whichever one they have been using for years. I think taskbar is generally used as the generic term since docks are almost never seen by about 90-80% of desktop users.

That would be my bad, since I initially wrote down the installation instructions in a hurried mail which took me about 30 seconds, and I am a Linux / Unix-er at heart with Enlightenment / XFCE desktop preferences and experience, so my Mac terminology is sub-optimal, shall we say :-) Thanks for correcting this.
