I have found a strange issue, I'm fairly certain it could be solved by deleting my config and starting over:
I used clementine for a long time and I use the musicPlayer applet set so when I click it starts/shows the music player.

I recently switched to Amarok, and selected "Amarok2" in the musicPlayer applet. When I boot up and click the icon Amarok starts, but once it starts the applet reverts to Clementine. So if I click the icon it starts Clementine and if nothing is playing is says "Clementine" when I hover over it. But when Amarok is playing the icon still shows the proper song information.

glx-dock: 3.3.99.alpha1
ArchLinux 64bit
KDE
compiled from repositories

hmm, we can check that in the applet's config
can you copy-paste ~/.config/cairo-dock/current_theme/plug-ins/musicPlayer/musicPlayer.conf here ?

did you experience the problem when you changed the player, or did you restart the dock after changing the config ?

I have restarted the dock since I changed the music player.
