Public bug reported:

Cairo-dock 3.1 displays a nice tip about missing composite manager, but only on first start:
"To remove the black rectangle around the dock, you need to activate a composite manager."
"Do you want to activate it now?" (see attached screenshot)

This is enough if user uses only one desktop environment/computer, but I
miss this tip when user uses the same Home folder with different desktop
environments/computers.

I'm wanna create universal LiveUSB (with persistence) with mixed Desktop
environment: GNOME3 shell with Cairo-Dock and fallback to GNOME3 Classic
with Metacity and Cairo-Dock.

It would be very nice if Cairo-dock would check for missing compozite
manager when starting every time (please, at least make a setting for
this option).

Thanks for creating nice free software,
