Creating a faux dock, resizing leftover window space, w/devilspie.

Here's my example. Start a *box session. Start and maximize a program. Then start tint2 or some other dock with a window_role of dock. The maximized program is then resized around the dock.

I'd like to do something like this, but with a non dock application in devilspie. My scenario would be to start a console, pinning it to the bottom with max width and a few hundred pixels high, bindind the dock property, and forcing any maximized windows to resize and treat that window as a dock. Can this be achived ? I've been fooling with devilspie and cant get anything to turn into a "dock" and force other apps to recognize it as such. I assume its almost like what would happen in a tiling wm, but I only want this to happen in one situation. Is this possible?
