Recently i installed Cairo-Dock,which is really good .But my main concern is everytime i want to lunch the dock , i need it to open through terminal.After launching i can't use terminal for any other purpose and also when i try to close terminal it will tell .. "terminal is executing some process do you want to end" and when i close the terminal .. dock also will get closed .Now i need Cairo-Dock to work like all other app .I need to open the dock through GUI,not through terminal.please help me out for this.
PS: i am new to ubuntu, and i'm using 12.04.
