[Bug 1096374] New: taskbar icons do not show up (if applications are autostarted?)
http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1096374 Bug ID: 1096374 Summary: taskbar icons do not show up (if applications are autostarted?) Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE Distribution Version: Leap 15.0 Hardware: Other OS: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Xfce Assignee: bnc-team-xfce@forge.provo.novell.com Reporter: wolfgang@rosenauer.org QA Contact: qa-bugs@suse.de Found By: --- Blocker: --- Since I upgraded to Leap 15.0 I noticed this. Not sure if it's new though since I haven't used autostart for many applications before. Currently I'm autostarting a few applications in my Xfce environment: - skype - zoom - spideroak All of them are supposed to have a task icon. Specifically for example spideroak and zoom cannot be fully exited from the main window but that needs to be done from the right click menu of the taskbar icon. But my observation is that in almost every session startup the zoom and spideroak icons do not appear while this always works when they are started manually. My guess is a race condition when starting the desktop so they do not appear. (If this should be better reported upstream, please let me know if I should do this.) -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

For convenience I have enabled both) One thing to test the race-condition theory would be: issue "xfce4-panel --restart" from the Alt-F2 command line. This restarts the panel. If the icons appear then, but not at login, this could hint the developers where to look. ... which brings us to the people who can fix your issue (I probably can't ;-): https://bugzilla.xfce.org/ The guys over there are friendly, the time to resolve issues ... depends. If you file a bug there, please mention the bug number here, so that I can track that bug for progress, and maybe answer questions about our packaging etc. Maybe this bug is related to bug#1074214, which I unfortunately also cannot reproduce :-( -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

Then add this to the panel (right click on a free spot of the panel, then panel -> add items, in the search box type "status", then select status notifier, "add" button) The statusnotifier implements the "appindicator" specification which is "the new systray". Maybe this works better with these applications. In the near future, (in Tumbleweed, maybe also in Leap 15.1) the statusnotifier plugin will be active by default, so this would just work then. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

Still some applications have issues. Now I cannot easily tell anymore which ones use a "tray" icon or which appear in the appindicator. Hexchat, RocketChat, Skype seem to work more or less fine (I think via tray) while - SpiderOak does not show an icon but has an active element which can be controlled (e.g. context menu) - Zoom does not appear anywhere when autostarted but appears (likely in statusnotifier) when (re)started afterwards. Since I have no idea how to debug if it's the application's fault or Xfce's this is probably a dead end. Anyway I wanted to post my feedback. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
