Manfred Herrmann (herrmann-manfred) wrote : hidden unity launcher+dash after moving around multiple firefox windows

main problem:
  unity launcher and dash always hidden (behind displayed application-windows)

more details and symptoms:
  docky behaves like unity-launcher/dash.
  press "super" button and type "terminal+enter" (nothing displayed) ... a terminal-window starts/pop-up

conclusion:
  the "input-stack/focus" is o.k.
  the "windows-display-stack/focus" is wrong

more symptoms:
  After docky-stop and docky-start (restart) the docky-bar shows as "top-level-window" => o.k.
  This is reproducable with firefox windows by moving/maximise/move to desktop XY.
  Sometimes other windows (like terminal-window) are hiding the launcher/dash/docky too.
  This problem is reproducable on a T60p with ATI-FireGL video-card.
