Bug Description
On upgrading to cairo-dock 3.4.0 (Debian unstable (AMD64) with Openbox) my "Visibility" setting of "Hide the dock whenever it overlaps any windows" seemed not to be working -- the dock would hide even on an empty screen.
It turned out that cairo-dock believes that it overlaps if a window is maximised on the *other* monitor.
If the window is dragged to maximum size, rather than maximised, there is no problem.

Hello and thank you for this bug report! (and sorry for the delay)

Mmh, I see. It's maybe because your WM draws this window 1px on the other desktop. Can you check the position of these maximised windows by using this command:
$ xwininfo
@fabounet: or maybe the dock should not be hidden if only 1px is visible?
@Steve: how did you install Cairo-Dock? By using our repository? If no, do you also have this bug with it? => http:// www.glx- dock.org/ ww_page. php?p=From% 20the%20reposit ory&lang= en#5-Debian
As workaround, you can select the option to hide the dock when a window is above the dock :)
