Keepassx sometimes doesn't show up in the system tray (ubuntu classic)

[Ari]

Binary package hint: keepassx

Using Natty / ubuntu classic
Architecture: amd64
Version: 0.4.3-1ubuntu1

I have configured keepassx to start minimized to tray.

After the natty upgrade, sometimes and for no apparent reason, keepassx will not show up in the systray when launched (either from a script, from command line or from the gnome menu.

When this happens, keepassx goes to a limbo state (no window, no systray icon) and the process has to be killed

I read that in Natty's version, some sort of fix related to the systray has been added last march; looks like the fix may have broken something else. I've never ever had any problem with keepassx after years of use.

I'm getting this or a similar problem. Keepassx launched OK when first installed, but since configured to minimise to tray it refuses to open at all. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling but still no joy.

Hi!

I have also configured Keepassx to start minimized to tray with showing its icon. Every time I started it only showed up on tray, but there is a workaround for this issue.

Open and edit the keepassx's config file, which can be found here:
~/.config/keepassx/config.ini

You have to modify these lines to show up the main window:
MinimizeToTray=false
MinimizeTray=false
StartMinimized=false

It worked for me and after you start Keepassx it will show up with its main window.
