Some time ago I installed Cairo Dock from source (I think it was 2.1.1 or something like this). Lately, I added repository to Ubuntu and now I receive updates. Since then, it updated twice (currently, Cairo Dock 2.1.3 beta). The version I compiled myself did not restart randomly. However, now it happens every hour or so, completely randomly - CD restarts and this causes 50% of my tray icons go bye bye (particularly those of Wine programs). If I want to get them back, I have to restart the computer or at least the program with the missing tray icon.
Anyone knows why CD restarts or how to get back my missing icons after it does? |

Hello !
This is really strange !
Which messages do you have just before the crash if you launch CD from a terminal with : |

if you compile the sources of the 2.1.3, you could then run the dock with ddd, which would give some precious information.
did you try to remove some applets to see if one of them could be the culprit ?
which applets do you use ? |

matttbe, I hope it sheds some light: http://pastebin.com/m6591a6df
fabounet, I am not sure what do you mean by "applets". I am using one launcher dock, one 'open windows' dock and a systray dock. In the Launcher dock, apart from 4 custom launchers (inclouding two collapsable launchers (both with fours launchers in them), I also have "Menu". |

GMenu is an applet, as well as Systray (everything you can activate in the main page of the config panel)
I don't think MGenu can cause some problems, so maybe Systray does, or maybe the dock itself.
did you try to run the dock without the systray ?
also, if you could catch the debug output when the dock stops working, this could help.
thanks  |

If you want, you can use this script in order to compile Cairo-Dock easilier on Debian or Ubuntu : cairo-dock_bzr.shchmod +x cairo-dock_bzr.sh
./cairo-dock_bzr.sh |

fabounet, I was using both those applets before with no problems. The problems started only after upgrading to the newest build.
matttbe, do I need to uninstall my repository CD first or can I just run this script without doing anything else and my settings will be sustained?
PS
Is there a way to set email notification of replies on this board? |

I recommend to uninstall (since you're going to install it anyway  )
are you sure it restarts, or could it be just the systray that loses its icons ? |

fabounet, Yes, I am sure it restarts as I have seen it actually happening. CD disappears and then reapers with all retractable docks visible which is a standard behaviour after restart.
I will try the script, then. |

OK, I compiled it and now am running rc1. If the restarts continue, I will run it with ddd and report back. |

It is still crashing. ddd cairo-dock is only running ddd, not cairo-dock |

in ddd, you launch the dock with program->run,
then when it has crashed, you can get the line with status->backtrace |

This ddd program is extremely annoying, not mentioning not working:

extremely annoying, I agree, but it's working pretty well
what you need to enter here are the options
so probably -o or -c |
