Docky sometimes does not reappear with maximized applications

[nakki]

Binary package hint: docky

I use docky with the intellihide option. Sometimes when I put a maximized app and i go with the mouse pointer in the edge, docky doesn't reappear. Everytime I change a docky's option this bug occurs. If I minimize all apps, docky reappear magically!

Happening consistently 100% of the time here, but only on my desktop.

Same here, any maximized window blocks docky from reappearing. Great work so far!

Additionally I noticed that if I click at the bottom of my maximized window, docky appears.
Somewhat annoying because clicking is the only workaround I've found and it opens an application accidentally from time to time...

Sorry about the multiple posts, but I just noticed that the click at the bottom to show docky only works if it's configured to use "zoom".

I had this problem after I upgraded from 10.10 to 11.04, but this seems to have fixed it for me:

sudo dpkg-reconfigure docky
quit docky
restart docky with docky &

The problem recurred and was 'solved' again by quitting and restarting docky, no need for dpkg-reconfigure.
I noticed some warnings come up when I launched docky from within a screen session, not sure if they are related to this problem or not:

/home/aspiers/.local/share/docky/ exists, just no remaps.ini.
I have no /usr/share/pithos/
/usr/share/pixmaps/ exists, but no workrave directory.
