matttbe, thanks for your comment. I have not yet read much of cairo-dock's code, but when doing damaging code work I found Compiz' Show Repaint plugin to be very useful as it allows one to exactly visually observe what the damaging code is doing and which repaints are exactly happening.
Currently my time is very limited, but I might look into it in the future (after I've got a build-and-run-cairo-dock-from-source procedure set up). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Cairo- Dock Devs, which is subscribed to Cairo-Dock Core. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1500529 Title: Cairo-Dock damages/repaints all of the dock windows if just one pixel in an applet changes Status in Cairo-Dock Core: New Bug description: This behavior produces unnecessary work for the graphics card and brings all the problems connected with that (more power drain/heat, less laptop battery life, etc.).
