Docky crashes after upgrade to Ubuntu 14.04

[Roman Snitko]

After I upgraded to Ubuntu 14.04 Docky started crashing with a certainty after minutes following the system boot. Trying to run it again results in the following error message:

Exception in Gtk# callback delegate
  Note: Applications can use GLib.ExceptionManager.UnhandledException to handle the exception.

And these go on and on.
Not sure if Ubuntu problem or Docky problem.

I am a linux mint user, which is based on ubuntu 14. I was also having same problem in linux mint 17. I installed dconf editor and enabled compositing-manager of metacity. Docky haven't crashed since then. See if this solution works for you guys.
