Docky not working correctly with openbox/compton

When I run docky, it seems to be running fine, but it doesn't behave correctly. It seems to fail to detect windows and remains on top when it should not. If I set it to Autohide, Intellihide or Window dodge and put it at the top of my screen, it will always pop up when I move my mouse to the top of the screen even if there should be a window over it.

It is basically refusing to be below other windows even if they are maximized, the only exception it makes is fullscreen windows. I also noticed that it's settings window insists on being omnipresent(on all my desktops) for some reason. I've tried both the official repository and the AUR(bzr) docky, I got the same result on both.

$ docky

I decided to check what would happen with AWN (Avant Window Navigator), and I get the same error about the undecorate action with it, and this one seems to force itself on top when my mouse hits the edge of the screen even if there is a maximized window on top.

Re: Docky not working correctly with openbox/compton

I think both docky and cairo-dock needs a compositing window manager...
Atleast cairo-dock has its own compositor.
