Comment 13 for bug 495264

I have the same problem but it isn't consistent - sometimes the window animations work, and sometimes they don't

usually they don't work for new applications I launch, but after they've been open for a while and minimized/unminimized a few times the animations work again

I don't think the problem is in compiz because it works fine with other docks/panels

I can't diagnose what causes the animations to start working again - but it seems to happen when a new application is opened

xorg-server 1.7.6
docky-bzr 1257
compiz 0.8.4
gnome 2.30
