anyone knows how to remove the black square around ?
tried all whats written in www.glx-dock.org but nothing removed it

I use OpenSuSE 11.1 and on both Acer aspire One and a desktop ho with nVidia GeForce FX 5200
have the same problem
Tried in both system to run compiz before but black square is always there

Do you see the wiki : Recurrents problems ?

Do you use Gnome, KDE, ... ?

I saw it but no changes

I use fluxbox on both computers

compiz is enabled. the aspire One has an Intel card but I don't know how to see
if opnGL is enabled. In sax2 there are no opnGL option, tried to disable 3D acceleration but
nothing changed

the desktop has a nVidia card

@ cityh : Try to launch Cairo-Dock with a delay :
sh -c "sleep 15 && cairo-dock -o"

or if you don't use OpenGL :
sh -c "sleep 15 && cairo-dock -c"

Guest, Saturday 16 May 2009 à 23:40

with both two it goes in error and does not start
it says " unknow option -o ( -c )

Merci Matttbe.

It doesn't work. The "Mode Maintenance" is opening instead of the dock itself...
I'll try to find out what's the problem.

Thanks.
