Docky won't start on new install of Karmic

Asked by sensory

Did a fresh install of Karmic and Docky doesn't to want to start. Trying to start it from terminal I get the following:

I have the same issue. Not using a fresh install of Karmic but using fresh standalone install of docky.

You will also need the libgnomedesktop2.20-cil package to use the preferences.
