Bug Description
Using docky and cardapio from their respective PPA's I tried to get the docky helper going today. I run in to the following bug:
I'm running Ubuntu 11.04 (or as much of it as is finished ;o)
I have a two screen setup (2 x 1280x1024) with docky on my secondary monitor and a gnome panel on my primary.
Docky is along the bottom and the panel is along the top.
The panel has the Cardapio applet running and Docky has the Cardapio helper.
Docky is running in panel mode with 3D background.
When i click the docky anchor icon the menu does come up but it behaves like if Docky was aligned along the top (screenshot shows this). I have tried dragging the menu to the top and it works there, but only if not in panel mode.
So, summing up:
It works as normal if docky on top and in "normal" dock mode.
It puts the menu window under docky if; docky aligned at the bottom panel or dock mode no diff.
And finally it puts the menu window under the menu APPLET, from the panel, if on top and in panel mode ;o)
More screens can be arranged.
Debugging:
If I quit the Cardapio in the panel and run it in a terminal the meny will pop up relative to that cardapio window when invoked from Docky. Only output in terminal is during the initial startup: (cardapio:26209): GConf-CRITICAL **: gconf_client_

If I close this window to kill any running Cardapio instances and try it from the dock the window pops up centered, in the middle of the desktop (which for me is in the split between my two monitors ;o)
