Bug Description

In a fresh install of Lucid x64 right-click does nothing on any icon. I've combed through the configuration editor -- my desktop wasn't right-clicking either but I fixed that. Here's what docky --debug says when I right-click the OpenOffice icon when it's running.

[Error 08:20:06.056] [AbstractDockItem] An exception was thrown by the type initializer for Docky.Menus.MenuItem
[Debug 08:20:06.056] [AbstractDockItem] at Docky.Items.WnckDockItem.OnGetMenuItems () [0x00000]
  at Docky.Items.ApplicationDockItem.OnGetMenuItems () [0x00000]
  at Docky.Items.AbstractDockItem.GetMenuItems () [0x00000]

Actually right-clicking the icon of a running application that isn't on the dock causes Docky to crash altogether.

[Error 08:24:52.151] [AbstractDockItem] An exception was thrown by the type initializer for Docky.Menus.MenuItem

I'm using Compiz and have set windows to come up on mouseover. Pretty sure that's irrelevant.

I have no idea whats causing this. I could probably trap the exception but then I'm guessing you will just get empty menus.

This is probably related to 64bit mono, which I do not use. I'll have to try and find someone else on 64bit who has this problem to confirm.

One thing I haven't tried is scrapping my compiz configuration and
starting over. I'll keep tinking around with it. Thanks.

I'd love to know what is unique about your setup, as no one else seems to be encountering this bug.

This is the main problem here "An exception was thrown by the type initializer for Docky.Menus.MenuItem" but I do not know what is causing it for you. But basically it is having troubles loading the menu item class and without that, menus cant work.

You are running the latest bzr trunk or PPA right?

Ok we found the problem. As a temporary workaround, run this:

  gconftool-2 --type bool --set /desktop/gnome/interface/menus_have_icons true
