Title says it all, I want to use Cairo Dock, and don't need both, so how do I stop AWN?

ps. I did search for AWN but didn't find what I was looking for.

Awn is Avant Window Navigator. I would leave alone as it is tied very much in to the Zorin DE. Install Cairo-Dock via terminal:

Code:
sudo apt-get install cairo-dock


then:

Code:
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade


then reboot the machine and check the cog next to your login name and from the drop-down choose Cairo-dock with effects.

Hopefully you should not get AWN showing when you log in to the Cairo Desktop.

Keep us posted! :D
