Cairo-Dock background

Howdie,

I got Cairo-dock up and running. Now, regardless of what theme I use, when I mouseover any of the icons and the zoom up I get a black frame around the dock.. THAT is not pretty..
Does anyone know what I can do about that?

I am using KDE4.2 on Arch-64bit and use an nvidia 7600GT using nvidia as the driver.

Re: Cairo-Dock background

Is your screen composited?

Re: Cairo-Dock background

I would almost say no, but I did what the nvidia wiki here told me.
Thats mostly adding the composite section to xorg.conf.
But I cant activate any of the kde4 effects. That is, I can, but they dont show.

glxinfo | grep direct
Xlib:  extension "Generic Event Extension" missing on display ":0.0".
Xlib:  extension "Generic Event Extension" missing on display ":0.0".
direct rendering: Yes
    GL_EXT_direct_state_access, GL_EXT_draw_range_elements, GL_EXT_fog_coord,

The error is supposed to be harmless, and rendering is activated.
