Public bug reported:

Hello,

A new version of Cairo-Dock is available: v. 3.3.2. It's a bug-fix
version. Here is the detailed ChangeLog:

* Cairo-Dock:
    - Class: implemented a workaround for Chromium and Google Chrome web apps (the same as used in Bamf)
    - Docks: fixed 2 bugs when reloading a dock: when changing the visibility from 'keep hidden' to 'hide when overlapping a window' and when changing the offset from the screen edges, there were no visual changes until the next session.
    - Launching animation: don't stop it when the dock hides itself
    - Menus: correctly setup the menu during its initial state: default menu entry of some menus was not selected
    - Taskbar:
      - Fixed a regression when the application changes its class
      - Removed 'opening animation' option: was not working and it was duplicated in plugins (Animated-Icons and Icon-effect)
    - Translations: imported translations from Launchpad

* Plugins:
    - Animated-icons: show the option to disable the 'opening animations' in Animated-icons' settings (was in the core but it was not working)
    - DBus: third-party: init: register the applets after having set the text domain for gettext (titles was not translated)
    - Dock-rendering: panel view: fixed the input shape when there is a single group of icons (no separator) LP: #1089052
    - GMenu:
      - Apps: fixed tiny memory leak when stopping the applet
      - Apps: New app: avoid multiple dialogues and select the first item in the list (very annoying when installing a lot of apps)
      - Entry: with GTK 3.10: both the entry and the menu receive the signal that a key is pressed. This caused a bug: each character was doubled
      - Menus: added a workaround for libgnomemenu if XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP is not defined (e.g. when using XFCE, the menu layout was wrong)
    - Icon Effect: config: move 'opening animation' option to 'when clicking on a launcher' section
    - MusicPlayer: fixed a bug when changing the player (the icon was not updated) and fixed a few small memory leaks
    - System Monitor:
      - SWAP percent was computed twice
      - Fixed crash if we want to display more than 4 values in a graph view [HIGH]
    - Shortcuts: bookmarks file:
      - If the file doesn't exist, first create the directory before creating an empty file (fixed crash on non-GNOME desktop environment if ~/.config/gtk-3.0 dir was not available) LP: #1244997 [HIGH]
      - Check for the existence of the old and new bookmark files to decide which one to use (to avoid empty bookmark list on some DE: XFCE, Linux Mint)
    - Weather: on double-click on the main icon, show the hourly forecast instead of doing nothing
    - Translations: imported translations from Launchpad.  LP: #1243608

(most of the bug reports linked to these changes are available in Cairo-
Dock's forum: forum.glx-dock.org)


[Impact]

As you can see, this new version fixes a few bugs (some are more annoying than other) and it also fixes two crashes.
The most important bug here is detailed on LP: #1244997 : on some non-GNOME DE (e.g. KDE), '~/.config/gtk-3.0' dir is not available: it is unreadable or not created and this problem causes a crash.

[Test Case]

On a fresh installation of KUbuntu:
* Install Cairo-Dock (from Ubuntu repos)
* Launch it (with the default theme)
* It crashes
* Install the 3.3.2 version (e.g by adding the official ppa: ppa:cairo-dock-team/ppa and update the system)
* Re-launch the dock
* no more crashes.

[Regression Potential]

This new version (3.3.2) has been released two weeks ago (2013-10-29).
It is used by many people (~27.700 users have downloaded this version
from our ppa according to the stats given by Launchpad) and it seems
there is no regression due to this version.
