I have a fresh installation of lubuntu 14.04 on my acer AspireOne netbook and I wanted to add a dock to it. I decided to use cairo-dock since I use the exact same dock on my ubuntu laptop.

The thing is that I am experiencing a weird mulenter image description herefunction, as shown in the next figure

You can see that when there is a window open, hovering to make the dock pop-up, makes the desktop to appear. How can this be fixed?

This is caused by compositing emulation provided by Cairo Dock. By right you should use real composition for jobs like this.

This is how you can get composition in Lubuntu 14.04

  1. sudo apt-get install compton
  2. Go to Applications menu, Preferences, Default Applications for Lxsession.
  3. Go to autostart, add another startup process compton -b

Log out and log in back then you should able to use the dock nicely after disable Composition Emulation in Cairo settings.
