Run it from command line and post the output.

Quite old stuff, with Plasma 6 it may well not work as intended!

Forums are closed for a very long time.

EDIT: But hey, there’s some movement on github 2 weeks ago. Cairo-Dock / Glx-Dock · GitHub
If you have issues with Cairo-Dock, you should open one at their github.

I have never used Cairo-dock on wayland

Anyway,
Start it from the terminal and maybe copy paste the error here…
Sometimes it maybe as simple as toggling opengl in there settings

This is the terminal result

I am not sure, best bet is you could be missing some GTK libs :
Considering it ran on mine (poorly) and the only gtk thing I could find is
kde-gtk-config,
Maybe you could try installing that…
No promises though, but you could try figure out what GTK thing you missin,
also maybe try to run with sudo too and see if its a permission error…

Other wise you could dive into SIGSEV, and try debugging it yourself…
Probably you could also try downgrading cairo-dock

This may or may not work for you but i had that same error in spectacle for me i had to install libva-nvidia-driver. Since your on intel you might need to remove libva-vdpau-driver or add it since this was something to do with how arch packaged kde6. If you want a link to the bug post i can edit it in. It’s a shot in the dark kinda thing though. Just note most all docs other then the upcoming elementary OS one dont work in wayland.
