ah nice. That seems to work. Now on to the next issue.
Floating the docks seems to kinda work. However it has lots of
ugly side effects, such as being able to move the windows around etc. 

When I call doIgnore on the window and later try to call reveal
on it, it does stay in the background... same for doHideIgnore
and reveal.

Is there a function I can call on a window to get on top of other
windows?

Regards,
Jan
