"Creating region with negative width or height!" in mod_dock.create()

[Jason Lunz]

I just upgraded to the debian 20060305-2 package of ion3. Now, whenever
I (re)start ion, I get this in an xmessage:

Ion startup error log:
>> Creating region with negative width or height!
>> Stack trace:
   0 [C]: in 'create'
   1 /home/lunz/.ion3/cfg_dock.lua:6

my dock is created normally in cfg_dock.lua:

-- Create a dock
mod_dock.create{
    -- Dock mode: embedded|floating
    mode="embedded",
    -- The screen to create the dock on
    screen=0,
    -- Corner or side of the screen to place the dock on.
    -- For embedded dock the valid values are: tl|tr|bl|br
    -- For floating dock the following are also valid: tc|bc|ml|mc|mr
    pos="br", 
    -- Growth direction: left|right|up|down
    grow="left",
    -- Whether new dockapps should be added automatically to this dock
    is_auto=true,
    -- Show floating dock initially?
    floating_hidden=false,
    -- Name of the dock
    name="*dock*",
}

is that expected? I gather most people use the statusbar and not
floating docks. Can the statusbar hold windowmaker dockapps and gnome
applets?
