Alltray broken in recent gnome: evolution gets stuck

[David Ronis]

I'm following evolution's git master in what is otherwise an update garnome gnome installation. I launch evolution from alltray as:

alltray evolution

This has worked well for a long time, but has recently broken. evolution launches and behaves properly and alltray's icon appears in the notification area. However, as soon as I iconize evolution (by pressing on the icon in the notification area) I can no longer remap evolution. The only option is to click the notification area icon and undock evolution. I also get the same behavior if I reattach alltray using the -p option.

I'm using AllTray 0.7.4dev, rebuilt today against gtk+2.21.1 (in a gnome
2.31.2 environment).

i comfirm this bug with any application, if i iconize the program in the notification area, i can't restore it. But alltray not works only with netbook session of ubuntu 10.10, with desktop session work correctly.

I use alltray 0.69 and ubuntu 10.10 desktop, but i work with netbook session

Is this still a problem with AllTray 0.7.5dev?

[David Ronis (david-ronis)]

I can't compile 0.7.5 dev in my gtk+-3.0 environment.

Here's the compile log:

Correct; AllTray is still a GTK2 only application. I do not have a GTK3 system available, so I am unable to port it at this time.

I'm afraid that if you're using GTK3, you're going to have to wait until there is a release of AllTray that will work on it. That's bug #723958 -- and I'm not sure when I'll have a GTK3 system to mess with.
