[Gnome 3] Conky and Cairo-Dock appear in Taskbar and App-Switcher

Hi there,

I seem to have an issue since upgrading to Gnome 3.10 with conky and Cairo-Dock. Both Applications appear in the Taskbar (when opening "Activities"), as well in the Applicationswitcher (when using alt+tab). I am quite sure that this wasn't the case with Gnome 3.8 and it really annoys me. As far as I understand, both Programs set the Flag "skip-taskbar" to make sure that the Window-Manager doesn't show them as normal Programs. However, there seems to be a change in Gnome 3.10 that sould ignore this flag, when there is no parent dialog (see http://blog.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnome.shell/page=8). Maybe this is the reason for this behaviour (I am not sure).

I tried several things (different options with cairo-dock when starting etc.), but nothing seems to help. I also tried docky, which produces the exact same behaviour.

Can anyone confirm that the experience the same problem or has anyone a solution (except changing the desktop enviornment). Would be really grateful for any hints...

Regards

I too have the same issue since recent upgrade to gnome-shell 3.10.3-1. For me the "unwanted" applications in App-switcher and top taskbar are conky and xpad.
I haven't come across any solution to fix it yet.
