not showing covers in docky

[Brandon Jardine]

The album art won't show in docky.

Using Covergloobus 1.6 rev 245
Docky 2.1.0 r1506

This is the relevant output:

damn, they renamed DockItemPathForWindowXID into GetItemByXID

latest docky revisions support DockManager dbus api

I changed it to work with older and newer docky version, and now it probably will work also with AWN (I haven't tested it yet)

since docky also changed its way to interact with sticked windows (it ignores them), now covergloobus checks if a CoverGloobus launcher is present on the dock and uses it, otherwise is creates an invisible window on current workspace and uses its icon on dock, to make cover visible on all workspaces user must pin CoverGloobus icon to the dock and restart CG, this way also CG will not be visible when Alt-Tabing
