[SOLVED] Gnote not loading in tint2 tray

After a recent update, gnote no longer loads as an icon in the tint2 tray. It does, however, load the 'search all notes' dialog (thats what executing 'gnote' does now, instead of loading a tray icon..)

Yes, same thing occurs here on awesome. Would be great if you could file a bug report about it (or if gnome users could tell us if that occurs there as well).

i believe they dropped the tray icon support for 1.8.0


Give what you have. To someone, it may be better than you dare to think.

I can't find the referenced 'manual faq' though, so I have no idea how to restore the old behaviour.

Its well hidden, the solution is to execute:

gsettings set org.gnome.gnote use-status-icon true

as root.

Hope they put this as an option, if not many people will search for an alternative, not everybody reads the code.

This works with tint2, but not with xfce4 sad
Apparently systray isn't standardized enough (or badly implemented)... remember e17? http://www1.get-e.org/Main/FAQs/#57
Trayicon from bitcoin client isn't working too in xfce4... sad
BUT another gtk3 app is working very well! - nm-applet

Just to clarify, you got this from gnote's source?

Also, I ran that as my user, not root, and it seems to work smile.

Worked for me with openbox+tint2. I run gnome-settings-daemon together
with openbox to get my fn shortcuts for volume control working. I didn't need
to run as root, though.


There is a difference between knowing the path and walking the path.
