Exactly same error message for me when run from terminal.

[Mohd Azwan Ahmad (mohd-azwan)]

Same for me, but with a little workaround, docky can run succesfully

cd /usr/lib
sudo ln -s libgdk-x11-2.0.so.0 libgdk-x11-2.0.so

[[e-mail] (winter666madness)]

That made it work.

[BorjaLagaron (mundoborjonudo-deactivatedaccount)]

Why this happened? Thx, that's the solution to fix the problem.
