I dont use conky that often, but Cairo works ok IMHO. Just be sure to get rid of the items you dont want, as I think that frees up space to run better. (I could be dead wrong on that, but...) The reason I dont use conky much on Mint, is simply I dont need it. I can get to what I need pretty easy using the regular Mint tools. Conky does look cool. If you want to go that direction, I think you should look at Cinnamon, which does similar stuff but is nicer (IMHO.) MrBob22

Conky is not a dock! it's just a program displaying arbitrary information on the desktop. Don't mix up 2 things here!!

@ bartszu:
How about Plank? Did you tried that one?

Yes but you see Plank=Docky. Plank is docky without setup GUI ;)

In meantime I sorted Caja issue with it so I guess I will use docky ;)

Just add an extra panel and move what ever you want onto it.

Good idea unfortunately Mate panel althou IMHO very cool, doesn`t have icon reprezentation of whats is opened.
So actually because it lacks this simple thing can not actually run as dock ;)
NVM Docky is working fine ;)

What ever is opened appears on the main panel.
