Undocking the Task Bar

[Roy S Schestowitz <roy-schestowitz-at-isbe-man-ac-uk@use-address-before-at.com>]

Is there any way or existent alternatives that will allow me to have a large
independent task bar? I saw this working under Gnome, but I am wondering if
this can be done under SuSe 9.

Any advice appreciated,

Roy
