Bug Description

I have been using cairo-dock for many years and find it truly versatile and impressive. I encountered a new problem recently though, just by chance. If I use Gnome display settings and scale the display beyond 100%, cairo-dock simply disappears!.

This happens when scaling from 100 to 200% under normal circumstances. It also happens when mutter experimental features are enabled and the display is scaled to 125% or 150%. The dock cannot be seen.

Steps to reproduce: 1. Choose a higher scale than 100% from gnome settings 2) cairo dock cannot be seen 3) revert to 100% and cairo dock appears again at its usual position.

Further, I need to add that other UI elements including docks (such as ubuntu's native dock or plank) do not exhibit this behaviour. They are visible and functional
