Tim, All,
Just updated a suse box to get the backport of the sftp fix and noticed that Ilya (or somebody) had implemented a 2-row kicker patch that allow you to have a 2-row systray instead of a 1 row systray. This is a great space saver for kicker. Probably only works for taskbar >= 35px since the 2-row tray uses 16px icons. Regardless, this is a cool trick that we may want to implement in tde. Now, instead of having to hide most of the systray icons to keep it within a 2-icon space (my preference) I can unhide everything and still take up less space. It's a 4-for-1 space saving.
Here is a quick screenshot:

Ilya, can you point us to the patch?

David,
I have a Trinity 3.5.13 and if I have a bar high enough so my systray icons are grouped into two lines automatically. Works including hiding of icons (hidden icons are also in two rows). Not only have very small bar or systray icons too big?

The only patch I see is a change to the default system icon size, from 22 pixels to 16 pixels. The system tray has always (confirmed on 3.5.12, and probably works on earlier versions than this) been able to expand to multiple rows if sufficient vertical height was given to it.

Ahh, that was it. I have a 36px kicker, so when the default systray icon went from 22->16, I automatically got 2 rows. (still a neat trick!)

Be aware that while TDE applications support nonstandard (!= 22x22 pixel) icon sizes, most other applications do NOT. TDE tries hard to resize these other applications as needed, but it doesn't always work properly, and usually the resized icons are harder to see / blurrier than the native icons.
The reason I know this is that I originally wrote the icon resize feature for TDE, and did not change the default size to 16x16 for these reasons. ;-)

To clarify, non-TDE applications can end up blurrier than normal--all TDE applications will support any configured system tray icon sizes without degradation.

current Nm-applet (uses gtk-3.0) has this issue of not resizing/drawing correctly, I don't know if it's related.
Here is a screenshot. The weird half outlined box is what is supposed to be nm-applet.
Anyone else have this problem?

Me.

I do. Sometimes it renders ok, most times it doesn't.
