Cairo-Dock bug: Two docks on restart

Before anyone redirects me to the wiki, I have already tried this: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ca … re_running
I am running Arch with awesome WM and whenever I restart my WM (I'm not talking about rebooting the system) i get another dock and if i restart again i get another one on top of that. It's weird.... logging out and logging back in seems to solve the problem. Is there a way to fix this?
Thanks in advance!

That's done the trick. Thanks a billion for the trick.

That's exactly it. Trying to put something together that's stylish and operable by someone who's never even heard about Linux. My Gnome, KDE, and LXDE desktops have proven successful already (have a number of customers who prefer them over the Windows machines).
The normal right-click Openbox menu is not obvious to someone who's never used *box before and .desktop menus are generally too ugly or too finicky to customise.
Now with cairo-dock, pypanel, and a nice background on a stylish LCD screen ... pretty cool.
EDIT: embarrassing typo

  • Leopard Dock Bug

    I have a fully patched install of leopard. After a running a while, and seemingly at random, display bugs start cropping up in the dock. The Dock suddenly becomes super-reflective, with zero or almost zero transparency, and icons disappear when i hover the cursor over them. Not a big issue, but it really irks me.
    Also, whenever I boot up Leopard, my stacks (which i choose to display as folders) display the wrong icons, displaying a previous icon I chose instead. Choosing display as stack and then display as folder again resolves this, but once again it's something i'd rather not do if i don't have to.
    Any help with these oddities would be greatly appreciated

    not sure what you mean by that. A similar sounding bug was introduced by 10.5.2 on prior created stacks. Try recreating your stacks from scratch. newly created stacks should retain their icons on restarts.

  • Two docks - where do I get a 60Gb video dock convertor?

    Have I missed this on the store.
    I want to order some accessories for my 60Gb Video iPod.
    I know you get a dock convertor with the iPod itself, but I want to buy two docks (one for the lounge) and need an extra 60Gb dock convertor.
    I can only find 30Gb ones on the Apple (UK) store.
    Anyone help?

    At my work they refer to me as "Your cart is full. Would like another?". Somehow they found out about my Apple Store Addiction
    So, not really truckloads, but one delivery at a time on a regular basis. The bill, however, I have to pay for myself...

  • Two docking containers interact with each other

    Hello everyone!
    I have almost the same problem like here: [ALV tree & Docking container ???;
    I need to have ALV tree on the left, and on the right need to display ALV grid filtred with the tree nodes.
    but i need more specific help...
    I really need an working example program with two docking containers, where clicking on some object inside one, changeing something in another one.
    in se83 and dwdm there's no such thing.
    RSDEMO_DOCKING_CONTROL only shows two docing containers, no interaction
    SAPSIMPLE_TREE_CONTROL_DEMO does not use docking containers.
    Do you know any simple example where two docking cointaners doing somethig like that?

    So even if I just ask to pay them to replace the lock button they won't because my screens are third-party?
    Apple does not repair devices beyond replacing the screen on some models or a battery replacement.  They replace the ENTIRE device.
    For the Out of Warranty replacement cost, you could have gotten a fully functional replacement device.  Instead you chose to spend less to get only the screen replaced and continue to live with additional issues.
    Apple will not touch the device now.  They will know that it was opened elsewhere and that the replacement screen is not original.

  • HT4972 since update to IOS 5.1.1  -  problem with iluv IMM173 DUAL DOCK ALARM CLOCK DOCKING STATION. - CRASHES WHENEVER UPDATED IPHONE 4S CONNECTED

    Hi, since most recent update (IOS 5.1.1) to my iphone 4s, I am experiencing problems(ONLY SINCE MOST RECENT IOS 5.1.1.UPDATE) with my 'iluv' IMM173 DUAL DOCK ALARM CLOCK DOCKING STATION.
    Every time I connect my iphone it causes the docking station to crash/freeze and become totally non-responsive. However, if I remove my iphone, then connect my wife's
    iphone 4 (IOS 5.0.10) The docking station then syncs time and date as normal with the iphone, and reverts back to function normally.
    Has anyone else experienced the problem please, and if so, is there a remedy ?

    1.  I cannot open my camera from the home screen.  The icon is there but when you click on it it shakes and starts to open up but than slides down back to the home screen.  I have tried closing the camera app resetting my phone but nothing seems to fix it.   I can still open up the camera regularly by unlocking the phone first and than going to the camera app.  But the camera button on the home screen just doesn't work for me anymore.  I know with 5.1 they made it where it wont disappearing from the home screen so my guess is the issue must be related to that somehow.
    From the locked screen, swipe the camera icon upwards to open the camera app.  This is a new feature in 5.1.

  • This dock won't dock on one side

    The Grinch has taken away my tree: this morning my dock will not dock on the right where it usually resides. It's fine on the bottom and left. I've trashed the com.apple.dock.plist and it still won't show with or without hiding.
    Not a big deal but any thoughts would be greatly appreciated

    dogbite,
    Welcome to Apple Discussions.
    How about deleting the com.apple.preference.displays.000a9597ad54.plist ? (Note: Your plist file may have a different number/letter combination)
    I am not familiar with PowerBook displays, but can you explore the possibility of changing the System Preferences...>Displays>Display>Resolutions:?

    ipod 4 gen not working on bose dock and car dock since i update the ios 6.1.6?????

    Have you went to Bose's support site?
    Sometimes an iOS update breaks compatibility
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost      
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset the Bose unit
    - Reset all settings                            
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                               
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes      
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.                       
    If still problem then there is nothing you can do except see it Base has firmware update.

  • Once a download a two three applications restart is advisable or not

    Once a download a two three applications restart is advisable or not

    You can Restart or Reset anytime you like.  Neither will hurt the phone or remove any data or settings.
    If an app is not functioning properly after downloading and installing, perform a Reset... press the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.

  • T400 with docking stations, ThinkPad Advanced Dock and ThinkPad Dock II

    Hello,
    I think of buying the ThinkPad T400 with one of these docking stations: ThinkPad Advanced Dock or ThinkPad Dock II.
    I have several technical questions and haven't found neither appropriate information, nor the way to get it.
    Here are my questions:
    1. Do these docking stations support DVI when T400 with integrated (not discrete) graphics is connected? 
    2. Where can I find a complete list of UltraBay devices supported by each one of these docking stations?
    Thanks

    I have a T400 with integrated graphics and recently purchased the Advanced Mini Dock 250410U.  The Advanced Dock and Advanced Mini Dock support DVI pass-through.  I looked into this before purchasing as well.
    This page will confirm the feature:  http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?lndocid=MIGR-72148.  Also see reference guide for docking stations: http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?lndocid=MIGR-4TPJF4 which says ThinkPad Dock II is discontinued.  This brochure says the Advanced Mini Dock does not support Ultrabay, but the Advanced Dock does.  http://download.lenovo.com/ibmdl/pub/pc/pccbbs/options_iso/tp_docking_solutions_june09.pdf .

  • Is it OK to leave my iPod Touch docked on a docking speaker when I'm not using it?

    Hello. I'd like to know if it's OK leaving my iPod Touch permanently docked on a docking speaker when I'm not using it, or else can be risky to the iPod or the battery to have it permanently charging.
    Thank you.

    For maximum battery life you should monthly fully discharge the battery and then fully charge it.

  • Apple - PLEASE fix the graphical bug with Dock and Stacks! PLEASE!

    Using popular Mac games such as Diablo II, Freeverse's Wingnuts, Ambrosia's Aperion, and Blitwise's Super DX-Ball (as well as a LOT more) results in a common graphical glitch with the Dock and stacks, making fan stacks totally useless until I restart my iMac. Killing and relaunching the Dock doesn't fix it. Only restarting my Mac temporarily sorts it out. This is a highly annoying bug most often set off by games that Apple STILL hasn't fixed as of 10.5.3. So I let every developer (who I do not blame, BTW) know whose product results in this bug, in the hope they will apply pressure to Apple. Leopard has been the buggiest release since 10.1 IME and Apple is taking there sweet time about crushing such crippling bugs. Suffice to say it's really ******* me off.
    Here is a screenshot from another 24" iMac afflicted by this bug after running a game:

    Notice the open stack is just grey bars. The icons and names are not
    showing.

  • Just got some bugs with Dock and Dashboard

    Hi!
    Been using my mac for 1 year now. Sudden some bugs just came by.
    I was using two widgets; "Ordbok" and "TriTrans".
    When I now try to use TriTrans I get this: http://bildr.no/view/75953 and I can't enter a search.
    When I try to use Ordbok i get this: http://bildr.no/view/75954
    I tried to make a new account just to see if I got the same problem and I sudden did. Then I went back to my main account and deleted the Dock, Desktop and Dashboard pref files (in Library/Preferences). Rebooted and tried again. Didn't work.
    When I made a new account I also noticed that the Dock had an icon with the "question mark" (this ting: ?). When I hovered it I got: "iMovie". Some icons to the left I got a working "iMovie HD". Where does the iMovie (wannabe) icon come from? (It was a new account).
    Anyways, someone now how to fix some of these?
    Thanks!
     MacBook   Mac OS X (10.4.9)   2 Ghz Intel Core Duo, 1 Gb RAM

    Ahh, that solves my widget problem. Thanks!
    Btw, someone who got any idea of the "question mark" icon I get in the dock when deleting the Dock config file or add new user? It says "iMovie" but beside it I got the "iMovie HD" icon, working.

  • IPad 2 iOS7 hardware keyboard dock bug

    When I connect the old original hardware keyboard that acts as a dock also, Item model number: MC533LL/B, some buttons dont work, like bringing up the keyboard hotkey. When  disconnect it the regular onscreen keyboard isnt comming up until I restart the device. Malfunctioning of the certain keys does not desturb me, but the onscreen keyboard not apearing is a problem. It worked perfectly in 6.1.3... I dont wish to downgrade, because i like the speed of the new system and the task menagement, but i dont like the design, the old one gave me a warm friendly feeling, so it is a tough choice.
    It would be a nice thing if apple would look into it. I guess the fix is one liner...

    It works... it was just some silly bug... maybe the comnector moved... Sorry for the false alarm.
