Tint2 tray not showing dropbox icon

Running openbox with tint2 panel.

Until recently I was having the problem described here: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=187289.  Dropbox icon showed up in upper left corner of screen. 

Now I have no dropbox icon showing at all even though dropbox is running.  This only seems to occur in tint2.  I can successfully use lxpanel and see icon. Killing and Restarting tint2 and/or dropbox does NOT help.

When starting tint2 from terminal with dropbox running I see the following error:

error_handler 8
tint2 : not icon_swallow

If it helps - also doesn't appear in dwm's systray.

/edit

Forgot to say: The icon only doesn't appear if I run

dropboxd

Otherwise, if ran with

dropbox start

the icon appears.

Re: Tint2 tray not showing dropbox icon

Have you updated to the latest version? Also are you using the AUR package?

Re: Tint2 tray not showing dropbox icon

I am running the dropbox AUR package which is currently version 3.2.9-2

Did you add a systray to tint2?  I haven't used it in years but a while ago you had to explicitly enable a systray to get any icons to show up there.

Re: Tint2 tray not showing dropbox icon

yes, I do have a systray and it works just fine for everything but recent versions of dropbox.

Re: Tint2 tray not showing dropbox icon

You probably have, but I'll ask anyway: is your system up to date? According to some other threads on this issue on other WMs, a recent update to QT helped solve the problem. E.g.: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php … 7#p1509767

Yes, I am all up to date.  I think it was this most recent QT change that caused this latest symptom in tint2.  Before that I had the icon in the upper left corner of screen.

Try removing qt5 is possible.

Re: Tint2 tray not showing dropbox icon

I removed all traces of QT5, no dropbox icon.
