Package: rhythmbox
Severity: normal
Version: 0.6.0
Synopsis: Doesn't restore minimized state on re-login
Bugzilla-Product: rhythmbox
Bugzilla-Component: Interface

Description:
Description of Problem:

Unlike earlier versions, rhythmbox 0.6 always starts in visible mode
when I log in. Previous versions correctly restored the state from the
last session, which as a rule was window hidden and only notification
area icon visible.

Is this bug planned to be fixed for the next release?
Comment 4 James "Doc" Livingston 2005-10-30 09:00:08 UTC
It shouldn't be too hard to do. However there is currently some debate on the
mailing list about removing the tray icon, because it clashes with things like
the Rhythmbox applet.

I'll look at doing this once that argument gets settled.

I would like to see this fixed too. I have 0.9.1 from the Ubuntu Breezy default package.

Regarding the tray icon, I would like to keep a single icon interface available. Whether it's a notification area icon, or a whole applet doesn't matter to me, and I don't mind having to enable it manually, just as long as it's a single icon.

patch

Patch that makes Rhythmbox remember it's visibility state across sessions.


I'm not sure if this would be good to commit at the moment. The notification area has keyboard-accessability problems, so if a person without a mouse accidently hid the window it would be very difficult to get back (requiring use of gconf-editor or command-line options).
Comment 8 Johannes Rohr 2006-02-14 09:34:39 UTC
You might make it an optional feature that can be enabled/disabled in the prefs. I would prefer this over having a fix delayed for another three years.
Comment 9 Alex Lancaster 2006-02-19 03:50:10 UTC
Patch works for me.
Comment 10 James "Doc" Livingston 2006-02-23 12:21:05 UTC
After a short discussion on the mailing list, the potential issues I mentioned shouldn't be a problem. If RB does start in the tray, trying to start RB again will make the window visible.

Committed to cvs.
