Installing Intel Graphics Updates from ubuntu-x-swat seems to fix this problem:
https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat/+archive/intel-graphics-updates
It features the open source Intel graphics stack 12.07 release.
While it doesn't seem to be too stable, there are no problems (including
invisible icons) with a fresh install of cairo-dock version 3.2.1 from
the launchpad ppa. The problems reappear when a ~/.config/cairo-dock/
directory is ported from another existing system, and this even causes
kwin to crash. I will use cairo dock further and add/remove icons and
applets to see if the drivers are stable.
My driver details after installing the graphics stack updates are as
follows:
