Compositing in gnome2 with cairo-dock

[kr651129]

So I'm using

% gconftool-2 -s --type bool /apps/metacity/general/compositing_manager true

To enable compositing in Gnome2 so I can make cairo-dock transparent. But I'm still getting the black box around cairo-dock. Thoughts?

Have you tried running cairo-dock with [CMD=]cairo-dock -o[/CMD]?

If this doesn't work either you should make sure compositing is enabled in your xorg.conf.
For nVidia graphics cards there is an article in the FreeBSD manual http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/articles/compiz-fusion/xorg-configuration.html.
For other cards it should be similar but I don't know if there are any instructions as I only use nVidia graphics cards.
