Since i have the problems with ATI , i'm using without OpenGL
Window Manager : compiz
Theme is a modified version of Clear by Coz [hmm... never thought it might be theme related , but this is the theme I have always used]

But this is a *very* tricky bug , it is *highly* random [no wonder you
cant reproduce it] , this was the main reason i didnt report it earlier
:-(

Maybe its theme related , I think its more due to a bug in the module ,
but i'll try to keep running the dock in debug mode , hopefully i'll
catch it in action !

A screenshot of the bug is not difficult , once it occurs ;)

Bug description:
Binary package hint: cairo-dock

Using the latest version 2.0.9 from > https://edge.launchpad.net/~cairo-dock-team/+archive/ppa

When a new window opens , sometimes , it does not show up in the taskbar and skips the list of the open windows.

This is very confusing when several windows are open and I only realize that the window is already open when i try to open the app again and it comes up from behind !
While i'v checked if it is a problem with the window skipping the panel window list too , but alas, its a problem *only* with cairo dock.
This is not specific to any app or any event , it is very random and I'm not sure how to debug this issue.

This is not a new problem , I'v been facing this problem since version 1

Workaround:
Restart cairo-dock > now the app is shown in the list of open windows.
