In fact, the best choice -- as you've mentioned in Cairo-Dock's help -- is to use Systray detached from the dock. Then, with a proper setting of Compiz's widget layer plugin, it could be, for example, just a matter of right clicking on the screen sides for the systray to show up.
In this way, Cairo-Dock's systray is the best because (1) it hides the ugly systray icons; and (2) it shows them easily when required. BTW, the difficulties I've mentioned in my other bug report don't occur anymore, i.e., the systray is activated from the start without any need to un- hide it once :) -- About Systray applet https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/501771 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Cairo- Dock Team, which is the registrant for Cairo-Dock Plug-ins. Status in Cairo-Dock : Plug-ins: New Bug description: This can hardly be a bug report but rather a suggestion (excuse me but I found no other way to tell you about it). The systray applet, when on the dock, is good for hiding the several icons which has gone to the system tray. Unhiding them is a simple matter of (left) clicking. But the systray applet on the dock would be easier to use if the systray dialog could be hidden ALSO by left clicking and not by middle clicking. I've seen that this is the case with the terminal applet.
