[Bug 1069472] Re: Cairo-dock doesn't check for missing composite manager when starting next time :(

 

IIUC:
the first time you start with Compiz, composite is ON and checked.
then you start with Metacity and composite is not tested.

OK for testing it every time.

Title:
  Cairo-dock doesn't check for missing composite manager when starting
  next time :(

Status in Cairo-Dock : Core:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  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,
