Hi I used to have compiz and emerald start up when I started a gnome session, by having compiz, Gnome-Do, and Docky in the startup applications menu in gnome. After reinstalling my system and doing it again it doesen't startup anymore, compiz and Gnome-Do do, but docky doesen't. The only solution I read so far is for Mint, and requires using some graphical options not in the vanilla Gnome. Has anyone else had this issue.
Thanks,
Ben.

Works here, what about putting 'docky -v >/path/to/logfile' in startup to get some error messages?

Just tried but to no avail, it didn't even make a log in my home folder as I told it to. But I started it from terminal and the only thing that flagged up as red was there wasn't networkmanager, because I use netcfg and net-auto-wireless and net-auto-wired.

If it did not even start, all I can think of is a typo/deactivated entry in startup applications... Did you try "startup on login" in docky preferences instead of adding an entry manually

Ok this might be a bit of a stretch, but it's worth a shot.
I had the same problem with Conky a while ago, and the problem turned out to be that it was started too early, so that it somehow didn't load (I forget the whole technical bit, I just remember it was too early).
So the solution was to make a little bash script like so:
#!/bin/bash
sleep 10 && conky &
exit
Then make it executable and point to it in Startup Applications.
Again, a bit of a stretch, but ya never know!
