The transparency of the Dock is done inside our backend. You just need 
to have art or cairo. I don't think I'm running a compositing 
windowmanager, just WindowMaker.

Of course, the first thing to do is to check if in the "preferences" of 
gowrkspace, under "Desktop" there is the dock style "classic" vs 
"modern" selection.
