    • The version of Cairo-Dock 3.2.1
    • Your GNU/Linux distribution Kubuntu 13.04
    • Or you using OpenGL or not. - yes
    • Your Window manager - Kwin
    • Your Desktop Environment KDE
    • How you got the bug - switch user, then switch back; running some games (e.g. Euro Truck Simulator 2)

then we can see something like this (click to enlarge)

then I need to exit cairo-dock & start it again - & all the time the same.

Hello and thank you for this bug report,

What's your video card (it seems you have a nvidia GTX 650) and its drivers? An Nvidia card with proprietary drivers? If yes and if you don't have this bug without the OpenGL backend or with the free drivers, please report this bug to Nvidia devs because you're not the first one with this bug and this is the only solution to fix this bug

Without opengl - I do not have this bug, means - problem in nvidia drivers.. So, there is no way to fix it, right?

No, there is a way: Nvidia devs can fix it

Until they answer to your bug report and fix this bug, you can add workarounds:
    • e.g. after wake-up from suspend: ww_page.php?p=Recurrents%20problems&lang=en#29-Icons%20are%20corrupted%20after%20wake-up%20from%20suspend
    • you can modify the command to launch your game by editing its launcher and add this command:
      (...) && dbus-send --session --dest=org.cairodock.CairoDock /org/cairodock/CairoDock org.cairodock.CairoDock.Reboot
      e.g.
      euro-truck-simulator && dbus-send --session --dest=org.cairodock.CairoDock /org/cairodock/CairoDock org.cairodock.CairoDock.Reboot
      it will restart the dock after having launched your game
