Description Gultyaev Alexey 2011-10-05 05:45:30 UTC
Dock extension not visible in shell. It's enabled in gnome-tweak-tool, lg have no errors. I can run applications from place on screen where dock must be, but I can't see it.

Same things here. No dock visible.
using latest gnome-shell from Master branch.
no error in Looking Glass nor .xsession error.

Additional Notes.  The dock isn't visible, but I am able to click where the dock should be and execute the associated app.

Patch to make dock extension work with gnome-3.2

Just a quick hack to make dock extension work. I'm not sure what lower_bottom() does, but it definitely prevents dock to be drawn on screen.

lower_bottom() moves the actor to the bottom of the depth stack. Main.layoutManager.addChrome() adds the actor to Main.uiGroup, which contains all the actors in the scene, including the ones representing the wallpaper background and windows. lower_bottom() will put it below the backgrounds and windows.

The patch looks safe and after applying the patch gnome dock works normally.

I tried it. But the dock extension is still not working. alt+f2 -> lg -> errors shows this:
dock extension failed to load because it is not compatible with current version of gnome shell or GJS.
Comment 8 Florian Müllner 2013-05-24 13:40:40 UTC
The dock extension has been removed from gnome-shell-extensions a while ago, so let's close this - there are various dock extensions on extensions.gnome.org, any issues with those should be reported there.
