What is kdocker
KDocker will help you dock any application in the system tray. This means you can dock OpenOffice, XMMS, Firefox, Thunderbolt, Eclipse, anything! Just point and click. Works for LXQT/KDE and GTK/GNOME (In fact it should work for most modern window managers that support NET WM Specification for instance).
