Hi,
I have installed Gnome-Do and have been using it for a while now. Suddenly, however, it refuses to boot on startup, which causes problems. Any ideas? I have removed it and readded it to the list of startup programs on multiple occasions.
Also, because there is no notification-area docklet for Docky, is there a desktop widget that I can use so that I can stop using AWN in favor of Docky?
Thanks~!

Not that I know of...I use gnome-do docky only as an app launching and window switcher....I keep a top panel with the notification area.

I've been having the same problem. I seems to be related to Compiz. To open it I have to spam the summon command.

gnome-do with the docky theme enabled requires a compositing-enabled window manager.
compiz is this by default. so, if compiz is already up and running then gnome-do with docky will work with no problems.
by default, metacity does not do compositing.
by default, metacity is the window manager of Ubuntu.
metacity can do compositing, but it is a bit of a pain:

Check google for screenlets or google gadgets repository of gadgets for system tray thing for desktop widget... I think google gadgets may have one. As for Gnome-Do... Maybe get newest version and uninstall old version then reinstall it regardless of if you got newest version or not and hit properties in Gnome-Do and hit start gnome-do at startup through there instead of manually adding it... Then restart and see how it works out.
