I am running Docky on Xubuntu across several machines and several generations 12.04 -14.04 and it is easily reproduced by updating or installing with either GUI (software center or update manager) or CLI apt-get or dpkg -i. The installation process is what is killing it. I have attached the following log from an Acer Aspire 7520 AMD 64 (corex2), 4Gb ram, 1 Tb hdd, with Nvidia graphics. First killall docky. Then docky --debug > docky.log & then sudo apt-get install warzone2100 -y then wait for crash. Do not restart docky then killall docky. End of steps.
It's an annoyance but not a show stopper. I have tried on a 14.04 beta2 build with the same results. The following from the log seems to be the relevent part: [snip] [Debug 12:44:19.621] [DesktopItemService] 2 new application(s) found. [Debug 12:44:19.622] [DesktopItemService] Adding '/usr/share/applications/warzone2100.desktop'. [Debug 12:44:19.622] [DesktopItemService] Adding '/usr/share/applications/warzone2100.desktop'.

[Fatal 12:44:44.124] [GLib-GObject] g_object_ref: assertion 'G_IS_OBJECT (object)' failed [EOF] relevent because it is the first mention of the new programs and seems to be trying update cache. Could [Info 12:44:20.795] the trigger of the crash? Just guessing, I don't know enough about programing to say. Given the age of the post, if the solution has been resolved else where please point me in that direction.
