no systray icon is coming

Hi,
I have installed arch for the first time.most of the things are working as of now but systray icon not coming.following are my system details

Archlinux-openbox-tint2

systray is enabled.I can see text for battery and clock but whenever I open any application that use systray no icon comes.on mouse over i can see application name popup ,on right click i can see right click menu.I have tried with pidgin and volwheel.

I think i maybe missing some obvious theme/icon etc setting. or maybe some sepatare deamon needs to be run.

Any hint highly appreciated
Thanks

Re: no systray icon is coming

Your config works fine for me:

What icon-theme are you using? Did you try killing tint2, restarting it, then launching Pidgin?

Re: no systray icon is coming

I have tried Gnome,tango etc.Nothing worked. But one thing I noticed is hicolor icon theme is not listed in lxappearence but its present in /usr/share/icon file. This might be the root cause.

Edit:tried killing tint2, restarting it, then launching Pidgin..not working

Re: no systray icon is coming

^ lxappearance doesn't show hicolor here either.

Have you tried a different panel and see if the systray works there?

Re: no systray icon is coming

Any idea why the hicolor icon theme is not recongnised by lxappearence...If this can be figured out the problem might get resolved.
