Ubuntu is probably the best Linux distribution out there, but sometimes you need to use software that’s only available on Windows. What do you do? Give Wine a chance. As its website states, Wine is a free implementation of Windows on Unix. Installation on Ubuntu is pretty straight forward, so you should not have problems installing it.
The above screenshot shows Wincachegrind working through Wine. Eventhough there’s a KDE version (haven’t looked for GNOME, which I run), I really needed the Windows version as it offers far more information than its Linux counterparts. With Wine, I installed the package with no problems, and I’m now using it as if it was a native Linux application. Awesome!

Where’d you get the dock? Which one is it, and what’s your config? The only one I’ve seen is for gdesklets, and it’s not all that great…

kcachegrind is much better than wincachegrind which is attested by the Zend article on profiling PHP applications http://devzone.zend.com/article/2899-Profiling-PHP-Applications-With-xdebug.
I had no problems running kcachegrind in gnome under Ubuntu 8.04. Though as Mariano pointed out it was easy to get wincachegrind to run under wine
