2007-06-03 12:46:23 Caspar Clemens Mierau alltray: status Unconfirmed Needs Info
2007-06-03 12:46:23 Caspar Clemens Mierau alltray: statusexplanation I can not yet reproduce this bug. Calling e.g. "alltray --show --no-alltray --icon /usr/share/icons/crystalsvg/32x32/apps/evolution.png evolution" gives me a working evolution with all normal clicking options working. Can you please give more details about which (and how) application you run and maybe if you have tuned something in your xorg.conf. Also running alltray from a command line without forking it to background could be helpfull so you maybe can see error messages. Thanks in advance.

I can now confirm this bug. Assigning to ubuntu desktops effects as this seems to be related to it.

2008-04-28 20:34:36 Michael B. Trausch description Alltray doesn't work properly with compiz (Desktop Effects). If you click on the window it does nothing. Probably, there a problem with window detection. Minimazing with syntax alltray program work fine. Rewriting the description per the requirements listed at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates AllTray does not interact with windows in “click-mode” when Compiz is the active window manager for the system. In other words, when using Compiz as the window manager, one cannot dock already-running applications to the system tray/notification area by starting AllTray and then clicking on the application's window. The cause of this issue was lack of special-case handling for Compiz within the AllTray code. Specifically, it would appear that AllTray must treat Compiz one way for one code path, and another way for the other one. The debdiff attached to this bug provides code that does this. There was another fix supplied for this bug previously, but given the fragility of the AllTray code base, it conflicted with another patch and the situation had to be resolved again---which is what this patch does. TEST CASE: * Run Ubuntu Gutsy or Hardy using the available version of AllTray. * Install AllTray. * Activate Desktop Effects. * Start a program (I use gcalctool as my “test” program) * Start AllTray with no command line parameters. It will prompt you to click on a window that you want to dock. * Click on your test program and find that the thing doesn’t work. Given the (relative) triviality surrounding the patch, I believe that there is little to no chance of regression potential. This patch has been tested and I have been actively using it in Hardy for some time now, without any functionality removed from the AllTray package or the introduction of any new bugs within it. A note: This is not a security patch. It is only a bug-fix. The debdiff attached to this bug is against the currently released version in Hardy (0.69-1ubuntu1). It will result in 0.69-1ubuntu2, which should be uploaded to hardy-proposed as per the https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates page. I will be watching for the upload in -proposed, and monitoring the bugs for AllTray for a minimum period of one week as per the SRU procedures.

2008-10-02 22:39:13 James Westby alltray: statusexplanation Hi, I just uploaded the patch to Intrepid. Please test if you are running Intrepid. The package seems quite buggy to me, but this change at least fixes one bug. The program is not maintained upstream anymore, I would encourage anyone that uses this program and has the requisite skills to take over maintainence, otherwise the program will be less and less usable over time. Also, the bug tracker is closed upstream, so I was unable to forward the patch. Please work with motu-sru to get this fixed for hardy if you wish to have the fix there. Thanks, James

2009-02-19 04:24:17 Michael B. Trausch alltray: statusexplanation For whatever reason, this was never re-opened. Essentially, one case was fixed, and others apparently were/are still lingering on this issue. Am opening this bug against AllTray itself, since its bugs are now being tracked here at LP.
