Bug description:
  Binary package hint: metacity

Hello,

I'm part of the Cairo-Dock team. Cairo-Dock is a dock using Cairo/OpenGL backend. It needs a composite support and it works almost well with Metacity. There is just one problem : some flashes appear (often) and the dock is moved quickly when the window used by Cairo-Dock is resized. In fact Cairo-Dock resizes its window when the dock is active.
Can you have a look to this screencast? http://videobin.org/+fx/if.html

It seems that it's an old bug but sorry for that, we have never report this bug here. I have tested on Gnome 2.26 (Jaunty) and 2.28 (Karmic - just before my other computer breaks down :/ ). Mutter is also affected by this bug
This bug is much present now because the resizing is more used.

You can find all informations about the installation of Cairo-Dock there : http://www.cairo-dock.org/ww_page.php?p=Accueil&lang=en#0-Installation
