There's a branch with a fix for this already; I just need to merge it.

In the meantime, a workaround (IIRC) is to downgrade your Vala version.

[Aaron Hurt (ahurt)]

Thank you, I see the other branch now 'various fixes' ... I'll see if I can hack together a workaround for myself from that code. I really miss my awn dock..it's a great project
