[SOLVED] Thunderbird Firetray disappears upon new email

On my previous system (arch), when I got a new email, the firetray extension for Thunderbird will show a yellowish letter picture and show the number of new messages. But in my new arch system, everytime I got a new email, it'll just disappear. Then I'd have to open up thunderbird again, then it would appear. It's other functions all work as per-normal, so I'm thinking it's some problem with the letter picture.

I've checked the preferences, and they are all unchanged. I've even re-installed it just to be sure. I seems to me that there's a certain notification dependency that's missing. And I probably installed it in my last arch (by accident), and this time I haven't.

Re: [SOLVED] Thunderbird Firetray disappears upon new email

I'm not sure it this the the right one for firetray, but it looks like it.

(gecko:30450): Gdk-WARNING **: gdkpixbuf-drawable.c:1247: Source drawable has no colormap; either pass in a colormap, or set the colormap on the drawable with gdk_drawable_set_colormap()

(gecko:30450): Gdk-WARNING **: The gdk_draw_*_image require the drawable argument to
have a specified colormap. All windows have a colormap,
however, pixmaps only have colormap by default if they
were created with a non-NULL window argument. Otherwise
a colormap must be set on them with gdk_drawable_set_colormap

(gecko:30450): Gdk-WARNING **: Using Cairo rendering requires the drawable argument to
have a specified colormap. All windows have a colormap,
however, pixmaps only have colormap by default if they
were created with a non-NULL window argument. Otherwise
a colormap must be set on them with gdk_drawable_set_colormap

(gecko:30450): Gdk-WARNING **: gdkpixbuf-drawable.c:1247: Source drawable has no colormap; either pass in a colormap, or set the colormap on the drawable with gdk_drawable_set_colormap()

Seems like something to do with cairo. but I have cairo installed. should I have installed cairo-perl or something?

Re: [SOLVED] Thunderbird Firetray disappears upon new email

Good news. I've just noticed that it works again after I installed 'gnome-common' and 'gnome-python-extras' (Phew, I can remove Evolution now.)

I'm not too sure which one is the one that made the new mail notification thing appear again, but it's at least a safe bet if you install both.

So, for anyone who might have this problem in the future, just do as above. smile
