First I describe my trouble, below all specs.
I just installed an AMD R7 360 GPU card with latest AMD drivers 15.302.
Since then Cairo Dock with OpenGL does not work correctly.
When hovering with the mouse over the icons, hover effects do not work properly, though I can start apps from the dock.
Hover effects often "freeze", icons don´t move anymore. Sometimes the whole dock is "frozen", all effects gone, no movement, no effets, though starting apps still works.
When I run Cairo Dock without OpenGL, it works fine, though no fancy effects....
There is no black box, what some AMD/ATI users reported years ago.

Do you have tips for us AMD users?
What does --indirect-opengl do? This seem to work, have to test bit longer.
Thankx!

Now the environment:
KDE 5
kernel 4.1.15
latest AMD fglrx driver 15.302 from 02/2016
Cairo Dock 3.4.1

My current workaround: When I use the cairo backend (cairo-dock --cairo) cairo dock works fine.

Running Gnome Fallback on Metacity (compiz doesn't get on with my Gcard. Cairo runs without any issues but when I run from startup I get the black bar.
