[solved] Gnome 3 system tray area not working

Hello everyone,
I have a weird problem. Icons in tray area are just disappeared, only names are showed and right click doesn't produce anything. Even choosing "Open" from left-click menu is useless.
The softwares that are generally supposed to show themselves are zim wiki editor in background and dropbox status icon. Both programmes are up to date.
I use Gnome-shell 3.2.2-1, 3.2.1-1-ARCH kernel and nvidia drivers version 290.10-2 on i686.
I searched in old forum entries without success, I'm sorry if it's a known problem and I stupidly did not find that.
Thank you, have a good time.

I have the same problem. Would be an upgrade issue?

Re: [solved] Gnome 3 system tray area not working

Yes, it must be an upgrade issue, I downgraded gnome-shell to 3.2.1-1 and system tray began to work again. I suppose I have to wait an upstream fix for gnome.
Anyway, thanks for informations and sorry if I could not realize this before posting here.
Take care

EDIT: Gnome-shell 3.2.2-1 was rapidly fixed, so problem disappears if you just upgrade the buggy 3.2.2-1 version to fixed 3.2.2-2 version. Thanks to developers and contributors constant and efficient work.

Re: [solved] Gnome 3 system tray area not working

Another thing: should I make a bug report in Arch bug tracker? What can I do now? Thanks for your patience.

Give what you have. To someone, it may be better than you dare to think.

Still an issue with Deluge. Clicking on the tray icon doesn't do anything.

I don't know what it could be but if you don't have other icon problems except for Deluge, I would think that it's a Deluge specific problem. Just wondering, I'm sorry if I cannot help you solving your problem..

Found out Clementine also has problems.
Another downside -  I've read here that the problem has been solved and deleted the old package. Can't downgrade now.

I'm not sure I understood, why you should downgrade package if the problem has been solved? What exactly would you like to perform?

It has been solved but I still have issues.
I want to go back to the previous version. I hadn't had any problems with that.

You should check if you still have package for previous version in pacman cache, you should check into /var/cache/pacman/pkg/, following command should do the work:

$ ls /var/cache/pacman/pkg/ | grep "clementine" 

Check in the output what cached package version you have.
If you have recently done a pacman -Scc or you manually deleted the package, you may need to retrieve the old package from the internet. You should check in the Arch Rollback Machine database, here: http://arm.konnichi.com/search/.
In both case, after you have the desired version of your package, you can install it with a

# pacman -U /path/to/package

specifying, of course, the path to the package you want to install.
I hope this may be helpful.

Thanks!
Everything is working fine now.
I was running version 3.2.2-1.
I found version 3.2.2-2 in the Arch Rollback database which fixed these issues.
