I have the effects disabled, and the only animation I use is "pulse".
The bug/crash happens infrequently enough that I have not captured it in
debug mode yet, but I have attached some screen shots of the terminal
during normal operation when using the command you posted.  Not sure if
this will help.

Dock disappears, CPU usage goes to 100%

Status in Cairo-Dock : Core: Incomplete

Bug description:
Cairo Dock version 2.1.2-4
Ubuntu 9.10 32-bit
Using CD with OpenGL
Bug occurs on multiple systems: Laptop with NVidia 6600 graphics, Eee PC with Intel graphics 

I have auto-hide enabled.  Sometimes the dock disappears (refuses to un-hide), and CPU usage spikes to 100% causing a massive system slow-down and spike in CPU temperature, and I must kill cairo-dock.  I have not isolated what user actions cause this.  It seems to happen randomly, but it frequently occurs immediately after a dialog box appears while the dock is hiding, or is in the process of hiding (for example a message notification from Empathy).  This has happened to me on two different laptops with different graphics chips, so it can't be a driver problem.  

I will attempt to follow up with debug info if I can catch it.
