For me, the dock didn't freeze. I just wanted to try out cairo-dock from the command line. When finished, I pressed Ctrl-C; this did not terminate dock, but gave me a prompt back, so I did killall cairo-dock. This is what I got:
^C jos@Zyrrup:~$ killall cairo-dock jos@Zyrrup:~$ gldi_desktop_background_destroy: assertion 'pDesktopBg != NULL' failed Source ID 1028 was not found when attempting to remove it Source ID 1029 was not found when attempting to remove it Source ID 1030 was not found when attempting to remove it *** Error in `cairo-dock': corrupted double-linked list: 0x00000000029db920 *** jos@Zyrrup:~$ Segmentation fault (core dumped) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Cairo- Dock Devs, which is subscribed to cairo-dock in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1289891 Title: cairo-dock crashed with SIGSEGV in malloc_consolidate() Status in “cairo-dock” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Trying to setup cairo dock on a new install and it hung.
