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