  The Cairo-Dock team is proposing a new patch to fix two bugs with Cairo-Dock's menus:
   * don't hide the dock if this dock is raised
   * don't try to check if the mouse has left the dock if the menu is raised
  
  How to reproduce these bugs:
   * open an application and maximise its window: the dock is now hidden (except if you've modified the visibility option). Now move the mouse to display the dock and do a right click on it. You'll see a menu but the dock will disappear (it should be visible to have an interaction with the dock and to show the changes, etc.)
   * do a right click on the dock (or a left click on the Applications Menu applet or Status-Notifier applet, etc.) and quickly move the mouse somewhere else on the dock. You should see something like that: http://i.imgur.com/lrZGX.png (here we can see two icons of musicPlayer applet instead of one and Clipper icon has been partially hidden)
  
  This patch is available there: lp:cairo-dock-core/3.0 =>

  This branch should be ready to be pushed on lp:ubuntu/cairo-dock
  
  Thank you for your help! ;)
