Description gb2312 2013-02-06 20:10:13 CET
I have dual monitor with separate screen/display (:0.0 and :0.1), but
notification area can't be added to the second screen when it's already
in the first screen: it's grayed out in panel add item list, even if
I run the panel add dialog from second screen:

xfce4-panel --display=:0.1 -a 3    # 3 is the panel on second screen

File /usr/share/xfce4/panel/plugins/systray.desktop clearly includes

X-XFCE-Unique=SCREEN

which should allow it to be added to another screen, right?

I can help to debug this (having recompiled panel).

Refresh unique of item dialog tree if screen changes.

I think the problem was caused by panel_item_dialog_show setting
screen after dialog creation which already setup data according
to default screen. Added a refresh which seems to work and allowed
me to add another systray to second display :0.1
