Adding Wbar, Prism, and Gadgets to Ubuntu

[ Thanks to An Anonymous Reader for this link. ]

"The first step is to install Wbar, a desktop add-on that provides an attention-getting animated application-launch function.

"Since Wbar's animated-icon dock would need to occupy the bottom of the desktop, made room there by eliminating Ubuntu's lower taskbar/launcher panel. To do this, I merged the functions normally divided between the desktop's upper and lower panels into a single, upper panel. This was easy to do, using functions available by right-clicking on each of the panels."
