I just installed gnome-do from AUR. Looks nice, but my docky is unusably slow too, compositing is enabled in xorg.

proxima by anychance do you have nvidia graphics card and powermizer is set to the lowest when using it?
Offline
Performance level is 0 out of the options 0, 1 or 2.
Performace mode is still on maximum performance though.
Wasn't aware you could manually change powermizer settings, how do you do that?

where do you see performance mode?
and it has to be forced in xorg

gnome-do-bzr mantainer is going to release a PKGBUILD for plugins. If you can't wait download this .deb, extract data.tar.gz, move plugins into /usr/share/gnome-do/ and it's done
Do'h, I had to go through the painful process of compiling it (failed) removing flickr-dependence, installing it (failed), finding the package which provided mdtool, necessary to install it, etc...
But none the less, I'm pleased with the result

hmm mine says powersource battery ( when on ac) and performance mode desktop?

That does look really great... I'm going to have to take a look

here is my device section of xorg.conf (i've a 8600m GT), try to adapt yours with some of these options.. I'm using lastest NVIDIA drivers and I've got no slowness problems with Gnome-Do-cky ..
Offline
I added the parts of your xorg that I didn't have and it's still painfully slow. I went to g-conf -> Apps -> Gnome-do, to the docky preferences, and turned off the zoom function. It's working much better now without the zoom, but still has hangups when i summon gnome-do too so I don't know.

damn i was excited to see this, but: Docky -> Gnome Do -> Mono -> Suse -> Microsoft shit, so no thank you...
Offline
proxima_centauri: Unusably slow here too. I have the nvidia173 drivers installed also. Changed to the latest nvidia and still got the same issue.
Using openbox+xcompmgr

Looks interesting, but besides the Mono connection, there's also the fact that it's chock-full of Gnome dependencies if you follow them down from gnome-desktop-sharp.... AWN at least has an agnostic version (though it's broken right now). I'm not a fan of docks on the whole, but it's nice for showing off Linux to people who do like them. If only Gnome Do was truly agnostic. I know it works in other DEs/WMs, but it requires half of Gnome to do it.

Well it is called GNOME Do

I have Do installed, and I still don't have the Docky option.
Help?
I am a noob.

Did you install gnome-do-bzr from AUR?

Did you already install gnome-do from pacman, remove it first

I just uninstalled it, now it's working.
But, how do I stop it from adding random programmes to the bar? -_-
This is rather annoying.
I remove one, and more show up!
GRRR.

G-conf -> apps -> gnome-do -> docky
there should be something in there for default programs showing, try lowering the number to 0 or 1.

Just add a bunch of your own icons, and then decrease the size of the dock so that there is no "space left" for the automatic ones.
