[regression] alltray cannot un-hide the app if started from click-mode

[Tristan Schmelcher]

Binary package hint: alltray

I am using Ubuntu Jaunty 32-bit on a Dell XPS M1710 laptop with an NVIDIA GeForce Go 7900 GS and Compiz enabled. Recently I have found that a feature of alltray that used to work has broken: "click-mode". When I start alltray in click-mode and click on an already-running app to hide it, the "Show/Hide" button on the new tray icon won't bring it back! Instead it does nothing. Nor does clicking on the tray icon do anything. To get it back I have to right click and choose Undock.

The strange thing is that if I don't run alltray in click-mode but instead let alltray start the app itself--e.g., by running "alltray evolution" on the command line--then everything works as expected.

Note that although I am running Jaunty, a few packages have been installed from Karmic. List is below.
