please reconsider this.
Is not a good idea for several reasons
* will duplicate bugs
* nightmare to implement
* will be much worse as memory usage/startup times
* it will *never* work on wayland, as wayland is designed (also) exactly to 
prevent processes other the one shell process to do funny things with windows 
(such even just position itself) for obvious and serious security reasons

I like the idea of a 3rd party dock, and I'm open to add a  bit of flexibility 
to the shell (still, under certain constraints), but if you go in the 
direction of doing your own thing, it's not going to work for long and 
wouldn't really get support from us.
