2010-02-23 17:45:01 Vish description Binary package hint: transmission If transmission is present in the startup items list , it loads faster than the indicator-applet and skips the applet to use the notification area instead. This happens sometimes and not always. Maybe transmission should wait for indicator-applet to be loaded? This does not happen with other applets , gpm/volume/rhythmbox. Hence I'v reported it in transmission. ProblemType: Bug Architecture: i386 CheckboxSubmission: 6c350872f0b430ef8235c693ed2354c1 CheckboxSystem: 5484a8dd99f006173bd2ac53fa4837c2 Date: Tue Feb 23 19:44:09 2010 DistroRelease: Ubuntu 10.04 InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 10.04 "Lucid Lynx" - Alpha i386 (20091209) Package: transmission (not installed) ProcEnviron: LANG=en_US.utf8 SHELL=/bin/bash ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 2.6.32-14.20-generic SourcePackage: transmission Uname: Linux 2.6.32-14-generic i686 Binary package hint: transmission If transmission is present in the startup items list , it loads faster than the indicator-applet and skips the applet to use the notification area instead.

Hence I'v reported it in transmission. - Easier to reproduce when I logout and relogin to the session. Since the session load time is quicker now.

2010-02-23 21:44:17 Sense Egbert Hofstede summary Transmission doesnt use indicator-application if present in the startup applications Application Indicator users launched at start-up skip the applet and fall back instead

Therefore the applications fall back to using a GtkStatusIcon. Edited scrollback of a chat about this issue on #ayatana: <qense> chrisccoulson, do you think bug #526499 can be solved with a "X-GNOME-Autostart-Delay"? <chrisccoulson> qense - i'd prefer not to do that <24chrisccoulson> that seems like a hacky solution <chrisccoulson> i'd rather fix the real issue, which is that it falls apart if transmission starts before indicator-application-service <qense> shouldn't the library launch the service over DBus? <jpetersen_> qense, that bug also happens with other autostarted applications like gnome-settings-daemon and gnome-power-manager <tedg> qense: Should the application start indicator-application-service? <qense> tedg: here it is causing problems <qense> but it might be desired behaviour when people remove the applet <qense> from their panel <tedg> qense: I was thinking no, as if they haven't got the applet, they're effectively voting no. <tedg> qense: Plus there is no way to start applets externally. <tedg> qense: We could start the service, but not do much with it. <tedg> qense: This is another reason gnome-panel needs to die :) <qense> that's true, but it would require the autostart applications to use the X-GNOME-Autostart-Delay key <qense> which is a bit hacky <qense> isn't there a way to give the service priority over other applications? <tedg> qense: No, we need to fix it so that they'll wait a bit. <tedg> qense: They already don't fallback immediately. <tedg> qense: There's a bit of hysteresis so that if the service dies, the user shouldn't notice as it'll get restarted. <tedg> qense: The applet will restart it immediately. <qense> I've noticed that already. :) it's unkillable! <qense> so a delay key it is, you say? <tedg> qense: I think we should probably do it in the library really.
