Systray Position Changes

[Tsu Jan]

When Systray (with a few icons in it) is put on the top right corner of the desktop, its position changes after logging out and in. There's no way to fix this position, although, when Systray is put on the top left corner, it remains there.

[Fabounet (fabounet03)]

what if you start the dock with a delay on startup ?

A delay of 15 s didn't work.

Perhaps that's because the tray position is always calculated with its top left corner. (Am I right?)

[Fabounet (fabounet03)]

maybe there is a problem with the gravity of the desklet and its position.
does it move by the same distance as its width ?

No, it doesn't. It's movement is greater that its width.

I forgot to say that when I quit Cairo-Dock and then run it again, Systray doesn't move from the top right corner. Apart from the keyboard indicator and network manager icons, there are pidgin and CherryTree icons in it.

BTW, I don't use Systray on the right side. My report was only for the betterment of Cairo-Dock.

[Fabounet (fabounet03)]

could you please comment the line 124 in
cairo-dock-plug-ins/systray/src/systray-init.c
gtk_window_set_gravity (GTK_WINDOW (myContainer->pWidget), iGravity);
this was supposed to make the desklet expand to the left when it's on the
right side of the screen, but I'm not sure it's useful/working.
also, does the coordinates change in the conf file ?
Thanks for your great help as usual ! :-)

Commenting out that line had no effect.

Some numbers: width of Systray before and after log-out = 97; x position before log-out = -97 (I also tried -1); x position after log-in = -315.

[Tsu Jan (tsujan2000)]

Hello again,

I don't know where the magic number -315 comes from in my case (my monitor resolution is 1280x1024). However, when I add:

gtk_window_move (GTK_WINDOW (myContainer->pWidget), myContainer->iWindowPositionX + 218, myContainer->iWindowPositionY);

to "systray-init.c" properly, Systray moves to the top left corner after log-in. Here, 218 = 315 - 97 and 97 is the width of Systray. That also works when I remove some tray applications from start-up, i.e. the difference 218 doesn't change.

[Tsu Jan (tsujan2000)]

Excuse me! I meant "top right" not "top left" with the last comment.

[Matthieu Baerts (matttbe)]

@fabounet: any idea about this bug? :-)

[Fabounet (fabounet03)]

well, I think I understand why this happens, and we should probably modify
the way the desklet's gravity is handled (when a desklet is on the right,
its position should be given by its top-right corner, not the top-left
corner)
didn't have time to fix it though ^_^
