gnome notification area problem

clarence · 2006-03-28 16:51:41

Helloooo archaholics.

So, I have the notification applet in the gnome panel but apps like liferea, banshee etc, are putting the icons in a floating small metacity window instead. Like crazy style.

Can any kind folk tell me, is it a bug? is it a feature? is it a bit too hard to tell these days?

Cheers

That has only happened to me before if the notification area has been unavailable in KDE - it has never happened in gnome, and liferea + banshee runs fine in the notification area here.

It seems it only happens if i startx into gnome. If I switch to runlevel 5 and gdm it's ok....

If it's not happening to anyone else then it's probably just an anomaly on my machine.

thanks

I once had this problem when I started skype in gnome, just killing it and restarting afterwarts fixed it, it didn't happen al the time so I guess its some kind of combination bug...

I once had it when starting Akregator and Kopete on startup, but I couldn't reproduce it afterwards.

how does .xinitrc look like ??? make it look like the below code (for gnome of course)

exec dbus-launch --exit-with-session /opt/gnome/bin/gnome-session
