Cairo Dock and Plugins

The Cairo Dock and it's plugins need to be compiled from source. They are available in the ports at:

 /usr/ports/deskutils/cairo-dock  

and

 /usr/ports/deskutils/cairo-dock-plugins  

a simple "make install clean" for both will work. It may take about 30 mins or so depending on your machine. For the 3d effect select the 3d plane in the docks configuration settings. To tweak and remove the bottom toolbar use the "dconf editor". Finally add add the dock to your startup programs.
