Replying to [comment:8 czeidler]:
> The small dot is from the auto hide mode isn't it? Thus the Deskbar is
just moved down a bit. I still not see it, what do you guys are exactly
doing? Could you find out at which revision it occurs?
Yes, the small dot, square, box, etc looks exactly like the auto-hide box
but appears at another position and must be hit in the right spot to
activate the menu (just hovering with your mouse doesn't do the trick).
There are 3 options in deskbar preferences: Always on top, Auto-raise,
Auto-hide.
In an affected revision, these options don't exactly do what you expect:
No option enabled:[[BR]]
deskbar just moves down, can't always be brought to the top by clicking
(deskbar stays in background but the menu opens on top).
Always on top:[[BR]]
deskbar stays on top (as expected), doesn't move down (at least not during
my 10 min test), if option is disabled again (without another option
enabled) deskbar is immediately resized to a box that moves down, if
option is re-enabled deskbar doesn't reappear but box is now always on top
at its new position.
Auto-raise:[[BR]]
deskbar moves around (mostly horizontally, but sometimes also vertically
to the edge of the screen), is resized to a tiny box, if box is hit in the
right spot the menu expands (but deskbar stays invisible), deskbar
reappears after a trigger (e.g. opening an application via terminal), if
box is next to the screen edge deskbar reappears mostly outside the screen
(small bar - maybe 4 pixel wide - can be seen).
Auto-hide:[[BR]]
deskbar is resized to a box in the top-right corner, if mouse is in that
corner deskbar reappears (as expected), deskbar doesn't move around (at
least not during my tests)
So, it seems that you have most fun with auto-raise enabled at the
moment...
I'll test a few older revisions later, maybe I can find the culprit...
