When you restart xfce4-panel (which has systray plugin enabled), you lose systray icon.
yep, known bug.
olivier, benny: either of you have any idea about this one? i'm using NetkTrayIcon, and from a quick look at the code, it looks like it should watch for they systray disappearing and appearing and automatically hide and redock it as needed. or am i misunderstanding something?
Brian, I don't remember exactly, but there was a problem with XEmbed (actually GtkPlug/GtkSocket). Thats why e.g. xfcalendar uses a wrapper around NetkTrayIcon (XfceTrayIcon), which automatically reconnects to the systray. I suggest you have a look at the xfcalendar source.
ah, got it. should be fixed in CVS now.
