(DockBarX running as an Avant Window Navigator applet)
DockBarX is a GNOME Panel / AWN applet and last month it also got an option to run as a stand-alone dock (run "dockx" to launch it) but it was missing autohide, a very important feature for a dock.
Well, autohide was added to DockBarX 0.45, released today. There's no intellihide and you can't customize the autohide behavior yet, but this is an important step and we might see this in a future release.

DockBarX 0.45 also comes with lots of bug fixes such as crashes or quicklists being displayed in random order.
