[SOLVED] Cairo Dock logout button hangs

Cavsfan · 2015-12-14 17:06:50

For some odd reason the logout button freezes for about 24 seconds (I just timed it) before displaying the options like logout, restart, suspend, etc.

This is running Xcfe exclusively.
It's a major pain and I have purged it along with the file in ~/.config and every where else I could find. Re-booted, then I reinstalled it, but still no difference.
It did say while installing it something about "previous version detected". I couldn't find any other files to remove though before re-installation.

Here is what I have installed:

$ pacman -Qs cairo-dock 
local/cairo-dock 3.4.1-2
    Light eye-candy fully themable animated dock
local/cairo-dock-plug-ins 3.4.1-3
    Plugins for Cairo-Dock
local/cairo-dock-plug-ins-extras 3.4.0-2
    Extra plugins for cairo-dock

Thanks for any tips as to what the problem could be.

So, no one has a clue as to why one icon in the whole dock could cause the dock to freeze for 24-26 seconds after clicking on it?

After that amount of time goes by the options to logout, restart, shudown, etc. do appear but that is crazy.

I guess if you give it enough time it starts to work again.

Problem solved. Hurray!

Well, the Impulse icon doesn't work but, I'm sure it will in time....

The Impulse icon is bouncing once again. Just had to get Audacious using the right combination of audio output settings between ALSA and Pulse Audio.
Still using the Output plugin ALSA Output but had to change this from default PCM device to pulse:
