A new release of ion-dock has been made. It is compatible with the
latest ion-devel (20030311-1). Note that the configuration format has
changed slightly and the configuration file name has been changed from
ion-dock.conf to dock.conf. You can get ion-dock from the usual place:

I have some questions for Tuomo also:

* Will Ion *always* have an incompatible ABI across versions, as the
  module loader currently enforces? In that case I will make add-on
  module packages like ion-dock always depend on a specific version of
  Ion.

* I would like to make ion-dock more integrated with Ion, for example
  by making it possible to dynamically create and destroy docks and
  storing the configuration in
  ~/.ion-devel/saves/workspaces-*.conf. However, Ion currently only
  accepts workspaces when doing it that way. Will it be possible to
  have docks etc. use that interface in the future? Another problem is
  that I would have to add a complete interface for configuring the
  dock because it is very inconvenient to edit the workspaces-*.conf
  files by hand since Ion writes them on exit.

* I would like to use kludges.conf to specify custom dockapps, but
  each name is universal across screens, which means that every dock
  would have to have its own name. How do I solve this? I have never
  used multiple screens myself so I don't really know what the sane
  thing to do is.
