Title:
  Docky displays compositing error message on startup and shutdown

Status in Docky:
  New
Status in “docky” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: docky

  PROBLEM

  On both startup and shutdown, Docky displays a notification area
  message which says something to the effect of "Compositing must be
  enabled. Please re-enable compositing and restart Docky."

  After displaying this message, Docky either starts normally or is
  killed as part of the shutdown process.

  INFERENCE

  Docky is displaying these messages because it is being loaded before
  Compiz, and being killed afterwards.

  HOW TO REPRODUCE

  1. Arrange to make Docky start before Compiz or be killed afterwards.
  For reference, I am using a 2.2 GHz Celeron and have a good handful of
  services other than Docky which run on startup (Do, Tomboy, Deja Dup).

  EXPECTED BEHAVIOR

  Docky will not display, on a regular basis, bewildering error messages
  to technically nonproficient users who don't even know what
  "compositing" is.
