[Bug 696938] Re: No way to keep the dock on top of the window stack

 

I link this bug to Compiz, since a WM should always keep a "dock" window on
top of the others.
I encourage you to report this bug on their bug tracker as well (
http://bugs.compiz.org).

Bug description:
  
I am using the latest version available in Ubuntu maverick on a gnome/compiz Desktop. (2.2.0~4-0ubuntu1)

Since the moment I deactivated "click-to-front" in the compiz window management section (I prefer to raise and lower windows with keyboard shortcuts), I have the problem that cairo-dock keeps being hidden behind application windows. Sometimes it is visible in front, most time it is not. Using the keyboard shortcuts I can push other windows behind the dock. However, the shortcuts wont raise the dock. Click-to-front does.

I am using the config option that tells CD to hide if the active window would be obstructed and to come back when the pointer touches the screen border.

I already tried to start cairo-dock with the --keep-above argument in the session manager but it seems to make no difference at all.

What can I do to improve the situation?
