trayer only on one desktop in openbox (SOLVED)

Hey everyone,
I'm having a little trouble with trayer.  It's only showing up on my first desktop.  This was not a problem before and I've twisting my brain trying to remember if I changed anything that would have caused this - and I cannot.  I use .xinitrc to launch openbox, trayer etc. so I'll post that.  Any help is appreciated! 

Thanks!

Try to put a sleep time to trayer it need to be started after openbox (uhh... actually this is a experimental fact, that happened to me ^__^'), e.g. with something like

(sleep 3 && trayer...)&

I believe that adding the following option will enable a persistent tray:

trayer --SetDockType true

This one seems to have worked.  Thayer, I tried your suggestion but my problem did not seem to go away.

Thanks to both of you though

Re: trayer only on one desktop in openbox (SOLVED)

If you want to spare those three seconds, I am confident that the following lines in the applications section of the openbox configuration file should work:

      <application name="trayer">
        <desktop>all</desktop>
      </application>

Check the right "name": the first element of WM_CLASS in the output of xprop for trayer.

You were correct, that worked as well without having to put in the launch delay.  I would consider that the more practical solution.  Thanks!
