Hi,

I'm using OpenBox and tried using pypanel, fbpanel and xfce-panel (+xfce-systray) but in all these panel i never had system tray icons (these little icon from gaim for example) i also tried using some apps with alltray but i had the same problem. So is there anybody who can help me?

Re: [solved] No System Tray / Notification Area

now it seems to work, i think it has something to do with dbus-launcher

so i updated my startscript like this:

exec dbus-launcher openbox 
pypanel &
feh --bg-center /home/johannes/Bilder/Wallpapers/Arch.png

so the problem seems solved
