use Gnome-do.. that should do the trick.. in the settings you can also choose the docky view and then use the OS one

I had to remove AWN, it threw up an error every time I started my gnome session. The installation broke a couple of dependencies with the current 10.4 in the repos, uninstalling AWN, fixing broken links, updating the repository on synaptic and applying seems to have fixed it. The rest of it seems to work without AWN. I also got rid of the bit that gives the black apple logo, and switched the buttons back to the RHS (which I am more used to). Not an OSX look-alike, but a nice look anyway. Couldn't get all the fonts either. Was an interesting diversion, but TBH not much use to me – I like Gnome…

Not able to install AWN Manager.

Tried command line, Synaptic Package Manager. Is there any other way to do it without AWN manager?
