+Avant Window Navigator (Awn)
+
+Avant Window Navigator is a dock-like bar which sits at the bottom of the screen.
+It has support for launchers, task lists, and thirdy party applets.
+
+This requires pyxdg, GConf, and ORBit2.
+
+Note:
+This has been tested with xfce4. To use Awn rather than xfce4-panel, you can:
+
+- Launch xfce
+- Enable display compositing from: Settings/Window Manager Tweaks
+- Launch a Terminal and execute: killall xfce4-panel
+- Run: avant-window-navigator &
+- Log Out saving the current session
+
+To add launchers on the panel you have to select "Add" in the "Launchers"
+section of Awn Manager (you will have to restart the dock) or you can edit
+~/.config/awn/launchers directory adding more entries.
+
+Tips:
+To run more than one instance of an application on the panel, "middle-click"
+the launcher.
