[solved] cairo-dock malfunciton

I was trying out Gnome 3.12 alongside my trusty OpenBox installation, but when I came back to OpenBox, I noticed an issue:

The tray icons that used to be handled by stalonetray are now being takenover by the invisible bottom pull-up bar form Gnome 3.12, which should not be running at all in OpenBox. As I said, this bar is invisible in OpenBox but I am pretty sure that's what it is, because if I lower the mouse cursor, then the same bottom screen area disappears that is covered by that visible bar in Gnome.

I checked the usual autostart places

/etc/xdg/autostart/
~/.config/autostart/

but removing everything gnome-related did not help...

How did you install and remove gnome? Maybe post your pacman log here.

I did not remove gnome. However, I found the problem. It turns out it was not the gnome panel, but malfunctioning cairo-dock which I didn't even realise was running. Case closed.
