No dock/transparent dock after fast user switching

I've noticed an issue with Mountain Lion - I have 2 user accounts set up and when you Fast Switch between them the dock is missing/transparent (the icons are still showing) - I've attached an image to show exactly what the problem is... is anyone else experiencing this or does anyone know how to fix?? - it appears to be more aesthetics than anything else - and a logout and back in again fixes it... although that kind of defeats that point of Fast User Switching! LOL!

Same behaviour here, on two mac minis, one mid-2009 (I think) and one mid-2011.


I actually found this thread because I was trying to figure out how to MAKE the dock transparent, after noticing it was on my work computer when I fast-user-switched to my admin account. Then I noticed here it wasn't transparent in my admin account (when I logged in from the login window--not fast user switch). Then I googled, and here I am.
