cairo crashes as soon as I start it up

[Gabriel Gendler]

After installing I started editting configuration. After I added the folders applet it crashed, and now every time I start cairo it crashed. In terminal I enter cairo dock and get:

Sorry, Cairo-Dock has encoutered some problems, and will quit.

I've tried running with -x "Folders" -w 2 -q 1 and various other ws and qs, with varying outputs but all either looking roughly like the above message or with a one-line crash message and out.
From the message I guess the problem is a clash between the folders applet's ctrl+F10 shortcut and another part of my system with the same shortcut, although I don't know what.
If I could start up Cairo or edit its configuration files, I would happily disable the folders applet, but I can't find the configuration files.

Hello and thank you for this bug report.

Is it possible to give us a backtrace of this crash? It's easy ;) => http://wiki.glx-dock.org/?p=ddd (but can you add our ppa for stable versions and not our 'weekly' ppa)

Thanks!

You can launch the dock with this command in order to have the config panel:
   $ cairo-dock -m

Thanks!

[Fabounet (fabounet03)]

so were you able to remove the faulty applet ?
what if you re-enable it ?
is it possible to compile the dock from the sources with our script, and then have a backtrace ?
or at least, launch the dock with "cairo-dock -l debug > log.txt" and then posting the content of log.txt here ?

also, how did you get a Folder applet in your dock ? did you drop a folder inside the dock ? is this folder special (lot of files, files that are often modified, hidden files, ...) ?

thanks for you help !
