This is very timely. We added support for docking/status bar clients just a couple of days ago. It should be possible to set an appropriate gap width in your Config.hs, to reserve space for a dock on the edge of the screen. Did you try this?
Or does this patch solve a different problem?
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.
Ah, ok. Very good.
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:
Got a screenshot?

Yes, you'd need the trayer to have the override bit set. -- Don
