what if you detached this applet on the desktop ?
and what if you try to set up a personnal icon ?
and what if you launch the dock with
cairo-dock -c
and
cairo-dock -o -i ? |

Sorry for delay, my mobo died and my low budget created me many problems 
tx to everybody.
@fabounet
1) applet has no icon, just bg.
2) nothing changes
3) cairo-codk starts with cairo backend, less smooth, but with trash icon
4) no icon |

I'm afraid this is a problem with your Intel drivers, they are still quite buggy :/
could you please try to execute the following command in a terminal ?
dbus-send --session --dest=org.cairodock.CairoDock /org/cairodock/CairoDock org.cairodock.CairoDock.SetIcon string:nautilus string:any string:firefox string:none
(you'll have to activate the DBus plug-in of Cairo-Dock before)
if you don't have a firefox launcher, just replace with the command of one of your launchers.
if the launcher's icon becomes invisible, then it's a driver issue. |

I have no intel video card, I use an ati x300 with radeon driver, kms and cairo dock with openGL.
I tried that command but nothing happened. I use swiftfox so I replaced "firefox" with "swiftfox", and I tried to replace "nautilus" with "thunar" too (I don't use gnome). No effects  |

Yes I use those.
Open source drivers for ati card are called radeon, to distinguish from the "fglrx" drivers that are the ones developed by ati by closed source approach. 
I use an ati x300 with radeon driver |

Re-up
New libdrm supports the api that make radeon (ati open) driver able to work with kms. I installed xf86-video-ati from git , recompiled some libraries, and now my systems works fine with kms enabled. This problem in cairo-dock persists. And launching cairo-dock with openGL I obtain this warning.
warning : (cairo-dock-opengl.c:cairo_dock_initialize_opengl_backend:279)
GLX version too old (1.2).
Cairo-Dock needs at least GLX 1.3. Indirect rendering will be used as a workaround.
this is the summary

I'm going to commit a -O option, maybe you could test it. |

Not before tomorrow morning 
Tell me when you will commit the changes. What exactly this option do?
Is it normal that GLX 1.3 isn't present on my system?
Thanks for the interest. |

your drivers are too old, GLX 1.3 is not present. Usually it means indirect rendering should be used, but I've noticed recently that it can depend on cards
hence the new option. |

Sorry for delay, the two pkgbuilds on aur for bzr versions don't work -.-'

Hi there, in the same boat here: no dustbin, clock, music-player or alsa-mixer icons. Everything else seems to work fine. the dustbin applet works if I manual set my trash folders and set thunar as the alt file-browser, but still don't get an icon. If I middle click the applet the info dialog shows up, also if I detach it from the dock the decorations seem to show ok.
Have you managed to solve this issue or find any info on it? I know using 'cairo-dock -c' works but I really would like to use OpenGL. Is there any info I can give to help with debugging this issue, tests I can run etc. Or is it a lost cause?
I've got an an ATI Radeon 9200 [Rv280] graphics card, Xubuntu 9.10 with the open-source radeon driver and kms enabled. At first I installed cairo-dock from the ubuntu repo's(v2.0.9), and I'm now using 2.1.4-0alpha0 from the ppa. I start the dock with 'cairo-dock -oi' (if i don't use the indirect option I get a warning in the terminal to say it's being toggled anyway). |

-i is deprecated now so you don't need it anymore.
about the problem, it comes from poor drivers. did you try with the ATI drivers ?
Radeon 9200 is quite an old card, afak not supported anymore. The OpenGL backend is known to work well from the 9600.
you could try without indirect rendering (-O option), although I don't thinks it will be better.
using the cairo backend seems may be the only solution. |

Thanks for replying, and thanks for letting me know that the -i option is deprecated. It's still listed in the man page as a valid option, but will update my autostart command.
ATI stopped supporting the 9200 long ago and the old fglrx drivers no longer run on new versions of (X)Ubuntu so at the moment the radeon driver is my only choice. From what I've read though my card is well supported by the radeon driver and I haven't had many probs using it.
I've tried the Cairo backend but it's just not the same without the animations and stuff. Apart from the applets listed above, everything else is working great. The dock runs smooth and fast, transparency works fine, animations don't jump or stutter and it looks fantastic. I can live without a clock applet or trashcan on the dock as my terminal is always open anyway, so I'll probably just carry on using OpenGL. It would be nice to have these working though. Guess I'll have to dig deep and build/buy a new comp.
Thanks again for the info fabounet. At least I know I'm chasing rainbows for the time being. |

an option would be to run these applets as desklets.
if you place them on the widget layer, you can access them quickly, it's quite convenient.
or you could also make a "desklet panel", by using the option "reserve space" for your desklets, and then placing them side by side on the right/left of your screen. |
