Sylpheed-claws provide a plug-in for systray icon. After the program started and mailboxes checked, a tray icon apears showing if there is unread mails. Sometimes the icon is in the pannel's systemtray and sometimes it is in a new window (a real small window with borders and close button).
Additional information: If you close the tray icon's window, either you have another tray icon window either, if you are lucky, the tray icon go in his right place on the pannel. Even after some tests I found no way to guess the beheaviour. Last minute : even if I dislike the taskbar, i try with it and get the same thing. All are debian sid packages sylpheed-claws : 0.9.6clawsa-3 sylpheed-claws-trayicon : 0.9.6clawsa-3 xfce4-pannel : 4.0.0.final-1 xfce4-systray : 4.0.0.final-1 xfce4-utils : 4.0.0.final-1
ooops, maybe it's a duplicate of bug#15 sorry :)
Doesn't seem to be xfce specific, I get the exact same problem with gnome and metacity. Couldn't that be a problem with the app itself??? Olivier.
After some others tests, I found an more strange beheaviour. Sometimes, the icon apears in a small window or in the systray but there is also an other small window with the same size and title of the systray icon. There is no way to close this "zombi" window even with xkill and even if you quit sylpheed and check there is no more sylpheed process running. The zombi is also shown in icon box and taskbar (named "??") and in the desktop switcher (but size and position are false). If I want to close it, I have to restart X. Maybe it is sylpheed's fault but I think XCFE must not keep zombies on the desk. :)
Hi, Can you test this version: http://www.xfce.org/archive/test/xfwm4-4.0.2.tar.gz TIA Olivier.
Ok, the tray icon appears only in systemtray but sometimes the width of the icon is incorrect. The 0000017-xf-shot.png screenshoot show traysystem in pannel.
on my system it also runs now without the reportet error...
Bug is now fixed. Olivier.
