Can you confirm that you only have this strange bug when Cairo-Dock is
running with OpenGL backend ?

Can you test the latest beta package from our 'Weekly ppa' : https://launchpad.net/~cairo-dock-team/+archive/weekly
You can simply launch these commands from a terminal : 
    sudo -v
    echo "deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/cairo-dock-team/weekly/ubuntu $(lsb_release -sc) main ## Cairo-Dock-PPA" | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list
    sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys E80D6BF5
    sudo apt-get update
    sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

If you've this bug again, can you try to disable all applets/plug-ins and check if the bug is still present. If no, can you activate applets/plug-ins one by one in order to know which plug-in is buggy?
Do you also have this bug after having some tooltips from a Java application?

@ Igor Korobka : Thanks to have reported this bug too! Is your dock
automaticaly hidden ?

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.
