Hello Vish,

> the switcher applet is displayed with regular OpenGL but it does not animate.
If this applet is placed into the dock, there is no animation when hovering its icon (normal, try to click on the right desktop/viewport when the icon rotates or jumps :D )

> But even worse , is that the background problems have returned with OpenGL
Mmm, it's problematic. Are you on Ubuntu Lucid ? Because I've seen many updates of mesa and xorg !
I'm updating our 'Weekly' ppa. New packages will be available soon (~5min :) ). Can you test it and confirm this bug? Did you have this bug with previous version? (you can find the 2.1.2 on the 'Stable' ppa https://launchpad.net/~cairo-dock-team/+archive/ppa ;) )

Thanks for your help !

Status in Cairo-Dock : Core: New

Status in “mesa” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed

Bug description:
Using 2.1.1-3-1ubuntu2~karmic from the stable ppa , and Kernel 2.6.32-6 from the Lucid repos[since KMS and OpenGL works better with this kernel].

When running cairo-dock in the openGL mode , the switcher applet is not displayed [attached screenshot]

But the applet works fine the desktop numbers are displayed but the only problem is that the switcher is not displayed.
When i use the non-OpenGL version , there is no such problem.
