Docky fails with error was BadAlloc

[Rob Peters]

Docky on xubuntu 13.10 fails randomly at startup. When it fails this error is generated.

The program 'Docky' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadAlloc (insufficient resources for operation)'.
  (Details: serial 1327 error_code 11 request_code 53 minor_code 0)
  (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
   that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
   To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line
   option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
   backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)

Just installed a clean xubuntu 14.02 Alpha + docky. Same problem as described above with 13.10
