I link this bug to Compiz, since a WM should always keep a "dock" window on top of the others. I encourage you to report this bug on their bug tracker as well ( http://bugs.compiz.org).

(2.2.0~4-0ubuntu1) Since the moment I deactivated "click-to-front" in the compiz window management section (I prefer to raise and lower windows with keyboard shortcuts), I have the problem that cairo-dock keeps being hidden behind application windows. Sometimes it is visible in front, most time it is not. Using the keyboard shortcuts I can push other windows behind the dock. However, the shortcuts wont raise the dock. Click-to-front does. I am using the config option that tells CD to hide if the active window would be obstructed and to come back when the pointer touches the screen border. I already tried to start cairo-dock with the --keep-above argument in the session manager but it seems to make no difference at all. What can I do to improve the situation? _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~cairo-dock-team Post to : cairo-dock-team@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~cairo-dock-team More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
