    Lucid, Kaffeine and Cairo Dock with Opengl

    I have a clean install of Ubuntu 10.04 with an Nvidia graphic card. I like Kaffeine for its TV tuner capabilities so I have installed it from the repos.
    I also have Cairo Dock installed.
    If I start the computer with Cairo Dock no opengl everything is fine but if I start it with Cairo Dock opengl option then Kaffeine runs with a transparent window rather than showing the picture although sound is fine.

    Is this a known bug?

    yes it's a known bug inside Qt
    the devs don't care about it, but there is a workaround :
    start your program with
    Code:
    export XLIB_SKIP_ARGB_VISUALS=1 && Kaffeine
    Same for Skype and any program using Qt.
    Refresh your desktop with GLX-Dock !
    Installation of the latest stable version for Ubuntu in 1 copy-paste :

    Many thanks.
    This fixed the problem and now I can have all the Cairo-Dock goodness as well as my TV shows.
