Description Ilya Konstantinov 2004-10-15 14:14:04 UTC 
If the Notification Area does not exist when the EggTrayIcon is created, or if
it's removed during the operation, the EggTrayIcon should request dock again
once the Notification Area is re-added.

This is very important for times when the panel crashes.

KDE's KSystemTray manages to do it, and so can we.

This is a bug in the application using EggTrayIcon. Lots of applications have managed to make it correctly work. EggTrayIcon could be improved to do it, but it's deprecated and people should use GtkStatusIcon instead.
