Title:
  No transparency after uninstalling cairo-dock when using second
  monitor

Status in Cairo-Dock : Core:
  New

Bug description:
  Hi there,

  I have a serious problem. I installed cairo-dock as explained on the
  homepage manually on my Ubuntu 10.10. The problem was (well known)
  that every windows and the panels look shaded and a black shadow shows
  trough and new windows always overlap older ones. I did try the fake
  transparency but did not work. So I uninstalled cairo disappointed as
  I was and restarted the system. Know, every time I start my script to
  use my second monitor  (using xrandr, it basically changes the
  resolution) this problem reappears even though cairo dock has been
  removed. But this script worked for many years now. I am really
  frustrated at this point.

  Could someone please help me?
  (I have Compiz installed (simple-ccsm))

  Best,
  Patrick
