I use the last version of cairo-dock from ppa repos on ubuntu-karmic. When i using musicPlayer with Banshee configuration on my dock, it can't steal the banshee icon... So, the icons are duplicated... i think this bug reason; i have 2 banshee binary files on my /usr/bin. just like this:

oguzveli@anarres:~$ /usr/bin/banshee [double "tab"ing]
banshee banshee-1

when you start Banshee with "banshee" file, actually it start "banshee-1". on my opinion the musicPlayer use "banshee" command for starting Banshee, but actually program starting with "banshee-1" binary, so musicPlayer can not steal it!

i hope explain the problem with my bad english

best regards...

ps:my banshe version is 1.6 Beta 5 (1.5.4) and musicPlayer version is 1.0.3 and i use cairo-dock 2.1.3-6

the dock uses the class, so what's important is the class of the window.
you can find it with a "xprop | grep CLASS".
I think it's supposed to be "banshee", at least until the 1.5

WM_CLASS(STRING) = "/usr/lib/banshee-1/Banshee.exe", "banshee-1"

"banshee-1", it's also the class used in the code, so it should work.
Is the option to steal the icon from the taskbar activated in the applet's config ?

ofcourse activated, anyway it can steal the other apps from the bar. for example i prefer the RythmBox from the options, in that case musicPlayer can steal the icon. i think this problem is only for banshee.

it will be a profit if i point this, that when the Banshee launcher is created without the musicPlayer applet, the launcher can steal the Banshee windows.

"class is the program" option is empty on the launcher options. but, if i grab the class then show the "banshee-1" and anyway the launcher can steal the icon.

But in the source code, we can see :
pBanshee->appclass "banshee-1";  // pffff
What's wrong
Something wrong with the number ?

ok I see what's wrong
now the dock removes the version numbers, so the class to set is just "banshee"
I'll correct this right now.

Edit : and of course if you set "banshee-1" in the launcher's config, the dock will crop it too, but it's not done for applets yet.

There is something wrong into the code source of CD-core, so it needs to be re-compiled with some modifications (but if you use our 'Weekly' ppa, it should be solved sooner)

if you use the sources you can just make the modification in the applet, otherwise wait for few days
