Distribution: Debian testing/unstable Package: gnome-panel Severity: major Version: GNOME2.14.3 unspecified Gnome-Distributor: Debian Synopsis: Missing docked icons of running apps Bugzilla-Product: gnome-panel Bugzilla-Component: notification area Bugzilla-Version: unspecified Description: Description of Problem: When we run apps like gaim, or kalarm, they get docked into the panel. Suppose i want to (for some reasons) reload the panel, I go to the command line and then find PID of gnome-panel and give a kill -HUP <pid> Steps to reproduce the problem: 1. run some background apps like eg:- kalarm -> dock them into the panel 2. give a kill -HUP to reload the panel in the command line from terminal 3. the docked icons are all missing now but the apps are still running behind. Actual Results: The background apps icons are missing Expected Results: The background apps icons must come back How often does this happen? 100% reproduceable Additional Information: Sometimes, when i give a kill -HUP <gnome-panel pid> then gaim crashes ! I will take this up with gaim bugs but still wanted you all to be informed of this ... -- Bhasker C V Registered Linux user: #306349 (counter.li.org) The box said "Requires Windows 95, NT, or better", so I installed Linux. ------- Bug created by bug-buddy at 2007-01-31 03:53 -------
It works fine with GtkStatusIcon. That's either an old bug that got fixed or a bug in the application themselves that do not check whether they need to embed again the icon (I'd go with the latter, so you should probably report bugs to the app authors).
Ah, it's happening here now. I need to try with GTK+ trunk, though.
Work with GTK+ trunk, so that's indeed a bug in the applications (if they're not using GtkStatusIcon)
