nm-applet & XFCE

kahrn · 2009-01-20 00:01:34

I am having a problem with nm-applet (NetworkManager) and XFCE.

I have followed the wiki (http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Networkmanager), but regardless I cannot get NetworkManager to show when I login, yet when I do ps -A, nm-applet is running.

Edit: It seems that xfapplet is displayed on the screen, along with nm-applet. So it IS showing. It's just so small that it's barely visible. A screenshot of what I mean can be found here.

Edit: I guess I'll use wicd.. it's lighter anyways.

Any ideas?

nm-applet runs in notification area, not as an applet, so you don't need to use xfapplet

According to the wiki (http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Networkmanager#Xfce) it requires xfapplet. That might need updating if that is this case. Anywho, it does not work either way.

I'm pretty sure I'm right because it also runs fine in the lxpanel notification area
What do you get if you kill nm-applet, then run it again from the terminal?

Also, which version are you running? 0.6.5 or the one from testing?
