GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 172479
EggTrayIcons can still appear 1 pixel wide
Last modified: 2005-06-06 20:44:37 UTC
This is a really old bug which I think got fixed by Owen 18 months ago in Gaim and rhn-applet where it was manifesting quite frequently (see RedHat Bugzilla #75225 and #106985 and countless others). However, the patch seems not to have made it up to libegg CVS, so the bug still happens for countless other users of Gaim on other distributions, and amusingly because none of the Gaim developers could work out what the change was for, isn't included in Fedora's Gaim RPMs any more either. I'm not sure what issue the patch fixes but I've pulled it out and will attach it to this bug so it doesn't get lost again. If someone could sanity-check and apply it, Gaim can pull a new eggtrayicon.c and there will be much rejoycing.
