Gnome-Do Docky theme on Fedora 12

To my dismay, after installing Fedora 12, I soon realized that the famous “Docky” theme for Gnome-Do did not come stock.

GNOME + Compiz + VirtualBox

I tried it and it works. It wasn’t extremely easy to understand though. At first, I didn’t know where the .exe file was. You can find the executable file in “VBoxWorkaround\obj\Release\VBoxWorkaround.exe”. Create a shortcut and put it in your “C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Startup” folder.
