nm-applet no longer in panel after update

Hello, after doing an update, the NetworkManager applet no longer shows in the notification area of the panel (XFCE).
When I run nm-applet in a terminal I get:

(nm-applet:893): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: The property GtkButton:use-stock is deprecated and shouldn't be used anymore. It will be removed in a future version.

(nm-applet:893): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: The property GtkSettings:gtk-button-images is deprecated and shouldn't be used anymore. It will be removed in a future version.

Help please!

Re: nm-applet no longer in panel after update

Hi all,

the problem is simply due to the Gtks.

Downgrading gtk3

$ sudo pacman -U /var/cache/pacman/pkg/gtk3-3.14.9-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz 

solves the problem.

Then, if you want a permanent solution, waiting for better one, simply modify /etc/pacman.conf as follows:

sudo nano /etc/pacman.conf
------
...
# Pacman won't upgrade packages listed in IgnorePkg and members of IgnoreGroup
IgnorePkg    = gtk3  
#IgnoreGroup =
...

I hope this can help you.

Bye,

Re: nm-applet no longer in panel after update

I found this was an icon-size issue. I had the max icon size set to 32px in
the notification area. After I enlarged this to 36px the icon appeared again.

Re: nm-applet no longer in panel after update

Hi, I also had this problem.

I fixed it by going to settings>panel and clicking on the items tab to remove the Notification Area item.

After this I re-added the Notification Area item in the same way and the npm thingummy reappeared

Re: nm-applet no longer in panel after update

Same problem here. I also identified that downgrading gtk3 works.
Removing/adding the notification area or enabling/disabling the border around the icons does also make the icon reappear. However it does not seems to be permanent fix either, as stopping nm-applet and relaunching it displays the same issue.

Re: nm-applet no longer in panel after update

Strangely enough, I have another machine that displays the same problem if I manually stop nm-applet and relaunch it, but the icon does appear when I first log-in. Perhaps by chance the notification area startup happens right after nm-applet is launched which forces a refresh of the icons and makes it appear in the tray?

Yeah, that worked for me too. It looks ridiculous though.

Re: nm-applet no longer in panel after update

Hey! I can confirm this. Depending on icon-size the nm-applet will be visible. I'm using a row height of 32px, and with icon size 31px or 37px it will show, but not with icon sizes 32-36px.

Re: nm-applet no longer in panel after update

Ok, the new version 3.16.1-2 solves the problem definitively.

Not for me.

pacman -Q gtk3
gtk3 3.16.1-2
nm-applet
(nm-applet:813): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: The property GtkButton:use-stock is deprecated and shouldn't be used anymore. It will be removed in a future version.

(nm-applet:813): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: The property GtkSettings:gtk-button-images is deprecated and shouldn't be used anymore. It will be removed in a future version.

(nm-applet:813): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: The property GtkMisc:yalign is deprecated and shouldn't be used anymore. It will be removed in a future version.

(nm-applet:813): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: The property GtkImage:stock is deprecated and shouldn't be used anymore. It will be removed in a future version.

(nm-applet:813): GLib-GIO-ERROR **: No GSettings schemas are installed on the system

EDIT: This was my fault and due to misconfiguration of the XDG_DATA_DIRS environment variable, after setting the correct path XDG_DATA_DIRS="/usr/share" nm-applet works correctly and shows the icon with gtk3 3.16.1-2.
