More, this will be due to using the nvidia-glx-177 drivers. These
drivers, as you see, have abysmal 2d acceleration for the operations
that Docky uses, although you can change some settings to make it work
better.  If I remember correctly, running "nvidia-settings -a
InitialPixmapPlacement=2" and then restarting Do, but this isn't saved
across sessions.  The nvidia-glx-180 drivers set this by default.
