(of fact, Docky crashed after I minimised all the windows and run Rhythmbox).

Best regards,

p.s.
why should I remove Docky PPA from my repositories just because every time it tells me about doing an upgrade? I don't want to leave my Karmic at all ! It runs flawlessly!!!

Cheers

First off, it looks like your dbus is not properly configured. Do the following:

1) verify dbus is running, and if it make sure it does run
2) make sure you are using our PPA version of ndesk-dbus

Also please update your docky package. You appear to be using our development PPA and are about 20 revisions behind.

Should be fixed in rev 1644.

@Robert: This commit doesnt look nice. I might noticed a similar problem trying to fix the GLib.File leak and creating duplicates works around it. So to create a duplicate please use the "Dup ()" method of GLib.File

  It seems I can't update Docky anymore (I'm using Karmic and I don't
want to upgrade it).
Cheers,
M.A.

@marbertone: you should do this: "sudo apt-get update" and "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade"

@marbertone: i understood that you want to keep karmic, but "apt-get dist-upgrade" doesnt upgrade to lucid if you dont change your software sources. Actually it will try to resolve the package dependency issues you are having. Also using "aptitude" would make you able to fix it.

Hi guys!
I updated to Maverick and Docky PPA development still gives me the same problem. I attach everything has to be attached: docky -d output as docky.txt and this is the std.err. It's such a pity that such a nice program fails this way.

here comes std.err:

That is a different crash. Please file a NEW bug.
