fluxbox system tray does not work

Hi,

I'd like to use fluxbox's build-in system tray for dropbox and pidgin. Even though .fluxbox/init has the proper line:

session.screen0.toolbar.tools:  prevworkspace, workspacename, nextworkspace, iconbar, systemtray, clock

For testing purposes I installed xfce4 and the tray is not working either!

What's wrong? Any ideas?

Thank you!

Joachim

If it is only those two apps and it happens in both fluxbox and xfce4 then I would think the apps have an option not to be in the tray. I don't use either of those apps but I know fluxbox and xfce4 have excellent system trays. So check the configs for dropbox and pidgin.

Cheers
