Hello and thank you for this question,

This is strange. It is maybe invisible due to a problem with your video drivers.

According to the log, it's possible that the dock is already launched because it is not able to bind many shortkey.

Is it possible to launch this command before launching the dock :

    killall cairo-dock

Then, if you still have the same errors, can you try without the OpenGL backend?

    cairo-dock -c

Or:

    cairo-dock -Wc

hello, I tried a dist-upgrade and then I got my cairo-dock. But the problem now is that CD takes up all the space and prevents me from getting to my files... I got something like http://forum.ubuntu-fr.org/viewtopic.php?id=1726621
I uninstalled CD , installed Compton , will Re-install CD and will see what will happen. If you have any other suggestion, please tell me what to do.

Thank you very much

Hello,

You can try with other compositor manager. Simply install and launch xcompmgr or cairo-compmgr.
