o The version of Cairo-Dock 2.2.0-0beta1
o GNU/Linux distribution Ubuntu 10.04 Kernel 2.6.32-22-generic
o OpenGL : yes
o Window manager Compiz
o Desktop Environment Gnome 2.30.0

Hi there!

I came across an (known?) issue which is best described by a screenshot.
http://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/8xF-UtmcSqVMDQMz5DhqAiNlbEFajhsfaXwocAUQ1ns?feat=directlink
I run Cairo with --keep-above option.

Also i thought it was a Cairo-specific problem, but using the Compiz ring-switcher i saw the same happen there. cf. screenshot: http://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/Hc0yknyPA0uiBY0GhgZi4yNlbEFajhsfaXwocAUQ1ns?feat=directlink

Compiz runs with OpenGl i think so perhaps is there a common problem between both applications?

Shutting down Cairo and starting up again solves the Cairo issue whilst it doesn't for Compiz, as i have to reload the latter to solve the issue on that side.

Hope this helps.

what's your graphic card ? it may be a bug in the drivers.
also, when does it happen in the dock ? (on a specific action ? on startup only ?)
if only on startup, you can try to delay the start of the dock.

Hi there,

It happens in the middle of computer usage, not specifically at startup.

I have a Dell Vostro 1510 with integrated graphics controller Intel Corporation Mobile GM965/GL960.

I can't tell what triggers the issue.

ok, if you could find what triggers that, we could be sure that the problem is located in the drivers (although it's 99% sure for me)
then the best is to report it to the devs, so that they can fix it.

I don't know which team develop the Intel drivers.
maybe they have a Launchpad account.

Just launch this command from 'Alt+F2' shortcut (or from a terminal):
ubuntu-bug xserver-xorg-video-intel

Hi there,

The bug has already been reported although phrased differently.
