Description of problem: New installation of Docky a clean Fedora 16 with patches crashes when:- a. The configuration tick-box to set "Start when computer starts" b. When either of the other two tabs is selected. I have Docky running on my other Fedora 16 installation which has been installed since Feb, 2012 and has been updated weekly. I re-installed Fedora 16 using the same DVD image and then performed a yum update, I have selected Development model Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Docky that crashes and exits How reproducible: When ever Docky is started Steps to Reproduce: 1. Clean install of Fedora 16 based on Feb 2012 download 2. Perform yum update - 928 updates 3. Install docky and its dependancies 4. Start Docky 5. Enter its configuration menu 6. Either tick the "start when Computer starts" or Select one of the two other tabs - docklets 7. Docky exits Actual results: ~]$ docky [Info 23:48:25.303] Docky version: 2.0.12 Release [Info 23:48:25.308] Kernel version: 3.3.6.3 [Info 23:48:25.309] CLR version: 2.0.50727.1433 [Info 23:48:25.570] [DockServices] Dock services initialized.

Tick-box to be ticked or tab to be selected. Additional info: 1. I have other issues with Fedora 16 with Gnome dying at random times when VMWare is running, and I decided to build a new Fedora 16 image to migrate the data off the old image. I tested F17, but too many issues at this time 2. Docky is the 2nd application installed on the base F16. The first application is gnome-tweak-tool 3. The same version of Docky is working on my other F16 image, that image was created in Feb, 2012 4. I do not have th checksum of the image, I do have the DVD of the full Fedora 16 deployment
I have just seen the error:- System.Reflection.TargetInvocationException: Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation. ---> System.TypeInitializationException: An exception was thrown by the type initializer for Docky.ConfigurationWindow ---> System.DllNotFoundException: libgnome-desktop-2.so.17 I took the opportunity to install:- yum install gnome-desktop - Something that I have done on my other deployment Now that I have installed gnome-desktop, Docky is working. Now Docky does not crash and I can do the following:- a. Set the "start when computer starts" b. Select the Docklets tab and select Docklets From that test, it seems that the package "gnome-desktop" is currently an undefined dependancy for Docky under Gnome desktop When Docky was being installed, about 12 other dependancies were installed. Either gnome-desktop should be a default base package or it should be a dependancy of the Docky package.
This will be fixed in the next docky update.
Dear Support team, Thanks for the update. I found a similar experience when testing on the Beta F17 download, only on that test Docky would not start. This bug has already been reported. Could the two bugs be linked ? (I am unable to test this because I rebuilt my test machine for a clean F16 rebuild and test). If I can assist, pls request and I can attempt to assist. Thanks in advance.
Is there any comments available on why some of the Docklets do not work in this version :- - Weather, NPR, Network There are some comments that these do not also work on Ubuntu. The Docky site states that Fedora is not a supported platform, but I built Docky from source on Fedora 13 and all components worked fine - different version of Docky though.
