How did you install cairo-dock, from the normal Mageia packages ? It asks for lancelot / gnomenu when you do what in particular with cairo-dock ?

Installed from the normal packages. I displayed the configure panel and checked the lancelot and gnomenu boxes. When I mouse over the cairo-dock lancelot and gnomenu icons A message is displayed stating that the package must be installed.

I don't see neither of those anywhere in the configure dialog. FWIW we don't provide those two packages in our repositories.

I uploaded a file. It displays my cairo-dock configuration window. Under Desktop you will see entries for Lancelot and GnoMenu. Hope you get the file.

You added those yourself as extension/applets, they are not there by default. So you'd have to make sure that additional programs required by those applets are installed, as they are telling you.

This is a screenshot from the default configuration
