Bug Description

I use mint 14 cinnamon in the classic mode with a top and bottom bar so have docky configured on the left hand side of the screen in the vertical.

After a while, the icons start to display a white border around them and a large white rectangle obscures what ever window I'm focussed on when docky hides. If I disable the zoom feature the white borders go away but the white rectangle is still visible. I have to then turn off the hide feature.

Retarting docky does nothing neither does logging out. I have to completely restart mint to get docky to run as normal but after a while (I've not found what triggers it) the borders and white rectangle appear again.

Docky version: 2.1.4 Release
Kernel version: 3.5.0.17
CLR version: 4.0.30319.1
[ThemeService] Setting theme: Classic

The computer is a samsung laptop with integrated intel graphics lspci says its a VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 3rd Gen Core processor Graphics Controller (rev 09) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller])

The attached graphic shows how it looks.

Some further analasys shows that this bug appears when unlocking the OS after the machine has been put into stand by. After unlocking the white border and white rectangle appears requireing a reboot to fix.

I'm seeing the same behavior on a horizontal bottom aligned dock. I'm using Arch Linux with Gnome Shell 3.10.4. The problem disappears when I quit docky, but re-appears immediately if I start docky again without rebooting first. I noticed that the white bar is exactly the height of the expanded docky bar. Screenshots attached.

Don't use AMD graphics cards.  Use Nvidia
