It is not a dock for applications. It just finds dockable apps, reports 
their names/window IDs and allows you to send X events programmaticaly 
to them.

I've seen the "gaps" support and I've tested it with a lightweight dock 
named trayer. It is in Debian repositories and also lives on berlios.de: 
http://developer.berlios.de/project/showfiles.php?group_id=1595
It works fine with xmonad (I had to unmanage the window before I got it 
working properly). So if you need a dock you can try that one.

Cheers,
