Kopete icon disappears from notification area after gnome-panel reload

[Wesley Stessens]

When using Kopete in the GNOME desktop environment, the Kopete tray icon doesn't recover itself in the notification area when gnome-panel reloads itself (for example: when a gnome-panel crash occurs or when a user reloads gnome-panel manually)

This causes problems, because you will be unable to access Kopete if it is minimized to the tray, and you have to kill the process and start it again to get the tray icon back.

Hobbsee, you rejected this bug, but you didn't tell why. What's wrong with the bugreport? Please tell me so I can make a better one, or so I can post the bug in the right place. Should I post a bugreport upstream to the KDE developers? Please reply.

argh. my bugmail has gone strange.

I thought heno replied to this bug, for some reason, and rejected it (so i should have marked this one as a dupe of the other, but was lazy)

FWIW I wonder if there is a more general problem with KDE apps going into the Gnome system tray, as I have had issues for months now on Edgy/Gnome 2.16.1 with Konversation putting it's icon into the Gnome tray. Sometimes I get it, sometimes no icon with a blank spot, and sometimes as an icon in the upper left of the desktop (and my tray is at the bottom) It seems to depend on which *other* apps are maximized/minimized, or more likely the width of their task bar buttons/labels (i.e. not in the tray, but next to it on the left).

I have not tested Feisty/Gnome 2.18

Is this still an issue in Intrepid?
