aMSN doesn't always respect settings (tray icon)

[Steven Post]

Binary package hint: amsn

aMSN settings:
- show tray icon
- start without showing the main window (tray only)
- login on start

System settings:
using the menu:
system - preferences - startup applications: added the amsn command to the startup programs tab, no parameters specified.

behavior:
- on login after cold boot: tray icon doesn't appear, aMSN main window starts minimized on the taskbar, aMSN is logged in.
- on login after logout: tray icon appears as it should, aMSN is logged in.

I'm using Jaunty beta, up-to-date at the time of this bug report.
I was unable to find logfiles related to this issue.

The same thing happens to be with Jaunty, except Jaunty isn't beta anymore.

This issue appears to be solved in Karmic
I just tested this on a VMWare box running an up to date RC of Karmic.

I withdraw my previous comment, it is not completely solved, although it doesn't occur every time anymore, it occasionally still does.

I confirm this problem in Karmic i386.The tray icon disappears sometimes.( not always)

No, this issue seems to be fixed, I did a couple of reboots with an up
to date Lucid install, bug seems to be gone.

This test was carried out on a pretty clean install (upgraded gradually
over beta's and RC's from alpha 4) using virtual box.

When I first opened amsn and closed it, I chose minimize to tray, yet no
tray icon appeared, logging out and back it again fixed this. Haven't
noticed it since then, so that might be a one time glitch.

I'll file another bug report (if it doesn't exist) for the
non-transparent icon, but I think that's not amsn's fault, the whole
panel seems borked.

They are already working on it,

please see if this is the bug you are going to report and maybe subscribe it https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/403135

so, I'm closing this bug as fixed (now I remember I had the same problem years ago...), please open a new bug only if the bug is different

thanks

It appears so, I already spotted it when looking for possible duplicates
before filling in the new bug report, so I didn't create a new one.
