Hi Trinity
users!
I've recently switched from KDE 3.5.10 (Debian Lenny) to KDE 4.4.5
(Debian Squeeze) and was really disappointed by KDE 4 slowlyness
(qt4/nvidia driver issue...?).
This morning I decided to give a try to Trinity 3.5.12 and I feel...
better!
Things are almost perfect, fast, etc. just like it was in KDE 3.5.10,
even KDE 4 applications appears to run fine (and so, much faster than
under KDE 4 itself)
However, I wonder if Amarok2 system tray icon is compatible with the
KDE3/Trinity system?
I've tried various KDE 4 apps that uses system tray icons, and they were
ok with that (klipper 4.4.5 for example).
Have you got an answer...?
Thanks!
Nicolas.
It should be. I would be surprised if Trinity was doing something
incorrectly in this area, as it complies with the relevant Free Desktop
specifications for system tray icons. Maybe Amarok2 does not provide a
true system tray icon per the Free Desktop specs?
Has anyone else on this list tried Amarok2?
Thanks!
Tim
Hi Tim,
I did some tests a few minutes ago.
I launched Amarok2 (2.3.0) over an "ssh -X dist-pc" connection to
another computer on my local network (note that ~/ hasn't the same
content compared to localhost's one).
The distant Amarok2 instance showed a system tray icon, not the good one
(it contains a question mark, see attachment: the icon on the right),
but it responded ok to both right & left clicks, etc.
I'm curious: I did the same over an "ssh -X localhost" (my amarok2 is
2.3.1), the problem is still the same: no icon.
I'm curious again: tested Amarok2 for another user (say "user2") over
"ssh -X user2@localhost": BINGO! The
"amarok2-systray-question-mark-icon" appeared!
So my computer, at least, can display a functional systray icon for Amarok2!
I'm more curious: logged into X using user2 account (deleted
/home/user2/.[^.]* before each X login in order to run from scratch)
- systray icon present under gnome
- systray icon NOT present under Trinity
All of these tests show to me that systray icon:
- doesn't work for my usual account at all under Trinity nor through
"ssh -X",
- works for new accounts under Trinity only through "ssh -X",
Weird!
I get more confused now as I initially thought that my ~/.trinity was
faulty.
Thanks for reading all of this!

PS: Of course this isn't a big issue, but I used to play a lot with
Amarok systray icon.
