FS#1171 - Workspace mouse input blocked by transparent layer of Cairo-dock

When you say you didn't find anything of interest, do you mean that you could 
not reproduce the problem? What other details could I give? My rc.lua?

Let me try and reword the problem then: the purpose of a dock that hides itself 
is to not get in the way. If it is hidden, yet the windows that it would 
overlap if it were not hidden are still not getting the mouse input, then what 
is the point? In OpenBox, if I move a terminal into the dock zone, the dock 
will minimize itself (as it does in Awesome WM). If I shift focus away from 
that terminal, I can click where the dock would be if it were not minimized. 
The terminal window recieves the click and regains focus. This does not happen 
in Awesome. I came to the conclusion it must be a bug in Awesome WM since this 
doesn't seem to be a problem with other WMs, and because of this post from the 
link by someone who 'appears' to be a Cairo-dock dev: 

"yep, that means the WM doesn't honor its duty (which is to use the bitmap we 
sent to X to define the transparency zone).
since this works on any other WM, I believe the best is to report this to the 
Fluxbox devs." -- post #6 by fabounet

For example, in Awesome I have two instances of urxvtc running side by side. I 
am typing on the left one, I have cairo-dock set to hide itself when it would 
overlap any window. I would like to type in the rightmost terminal and use my 
mouse to change focus. My mouse is on the lowest inch of the screen, but not 
low enough to trigger the cairo-dock to show itself. I move the mouse to the 
right and nothing happens -- I am still typing in the leftmost terminal.

I would be glad to provide more info, just let me know what you need. I don't 
know a whole lot about X other than some configuring in xorg.conf.d and the 
stuff I've gleaned from using xprop and xwinfo since switching to awesome a 
couple weeks ago.
