[Bug 1450727] Re: Flashing, Autohide not working, lots of other problems

this mean it is window manager

If you select this session, I guess your window manager is Compiz.

> I tried cairo-dock -c, it seemed better

It seems this bug is due to a regression of your video driver... Which
one are you using? Proprietary one? (fglrx)

  $ glxinfo | grep OpenGL

> Is there someway I can default to cairo-dock -c at log on?

Yes, simply launch the dock with this command, check the box to remember
your choice and select "No". Next time, the dock will be launched
without OpenGL backend ;-)

   $ cairo-dock -A

Title:
  Flashing, Autohide not working, lots of other problems

Status in Cairo-Dock : Core:
  New

Bug description:
  V 3.4.1
  Using with :
  Ubuntu 15.04
  openGL
  Video: Radeon HD6310
  Driver: 14.201.1006.1002-140902a-175601C-ATI
  Problems:
  When autohide enabled, the dock either will not appear, or half (1 side, or top or bottom) appears or flickers appearing and disappearing quickly.
  If the dock does appear it sometimes will not auto-hide.
  The dock can only really be used reliably by minimising all windows.
  When all windows are minimised the dock responds, but animations do not work.
  There are lots of other small problems, eg, if the time is clicked the calandar appears, but clicking it again does not make it go away.
