thanks for your debug outputs !
I think it's the same bug as I had with Pidgin (the dock crashed when I was notified by Pidgin, because the Pidgin icon was stolen by the launcher, so it was not inside the dock. Am I wrong to assume that you also have a firefox launcher that takes an indicator ? if you remove it, and not use the option "only show minimized windows", I think the bug won't occur).
I've fixed it a few days ago, and not sure if the weekly PPA has it or not.
so could you please try with the BZR sources, or when the next weekly will be available ?
Thanks !

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.
