OK - I have upgraded to 1346 and Docky is usable again with CurrentDesktopOnly enabled. The problem of dragging windows from another desktop not showing in Docky is still the same.

I realize that problem may not be fixable, so I would hope the following would be possible though:

1) Create a docky-refresh terminal command (that could be used in scripts, assigned to keystroke combos, or assigned to gnome-panel buttons)

2) Have Docky refresh every time an active window becomes inactive. Docky already recognizes this event by removing the highlight from the icon that represents the window that used to be active. Now I suggest also doing a refresh instead of just removing the highlight, so that Docky can recognize what window is now active that wasn't before.

Number 2) would solve this window dragging from another desktop problem if at least one window was active on the current desktop before dragging the new window over.

It seems Docky already does a refresh whenever a window it already knows about on the current desk goes from inactive to active as proven by the fact that dragging windows off the current desk works perfectly in Docky. So, it should be easy enough to also have Docky refresh when the opposite event happens.
