Bug Description

Ubuntu 9.10
Mobile GM965/GL960 Integrated Graphics Controller
Gnome: 2.28.1
Mono: 2.4.2.3+dfsg-2

Docky seems to freeze when focusing to a graphic interface such as a game. It basically scales down to about 50% of its size and sits at the bottom of the screen, no zoom, no selection, no auto-hide, etc, just sits there.

debug mode gives this in terminal:

[Info 21:07:15.233] [DrawingService] Could not find 'untitled window', using fallback of 'application-default-icon'.
[Info 21:07:15.326] [DrawingService] Could not find 'untitled window', using fallback of 'application-default-icon'.
[Info 21:07:15.425] [DrawingService] Could not find 'untitled window', using fallback of 'application-default-icon'.

I am guessing two things.

1) you have a lot of icons
2) the game changes the screen to a lower resolution

Are those correct assumptions? If so, Docky is trying to scale the icon size down to fit all your launchers on the (smaller) desktop. I believe we had a prior bug that froze Docky in such a situation.
