cairo-dock being spawned multiple times when clicking 'home' icon?

Hi all,

Not sure if any other cairo-dock users experience this, sometimes another instance of cairo-dock will launch seemingly out of nowhere. I've seen this for a couple of weeks but never been able to correlate it with any particular thing I've been doing. The only way I realize is that when I've got my mouse moving over the dock there's my animated dock and another static copy behind (which isn't animated since it doesn't have focus). Quitting the first dock just leaves the 2nd fully functional one in its place.

EDIT: mandog isolated the cause.

This was happening to me when I was using Xfce. I had cairo dock at autostart but it was also starting because of Xfce's weird session saving option.

Hmm, I've disabled compiz's Session Management plugin, will see if it helps over the next few days. I've had it enabled for months before this happening though.

I've having the same problem every time I open my home page through cairo-dock but not If I open my home folder from a desktop icon.

Ah, yes that's what it is. Updating original message to include that. Any french speaking people can bring this upstream?
