This is just a problem with most kde-3 applications, which followed their own kde-3 systray specification. kde-4 applications and gtk applications which follow proper systray specs work fine even with multiple e17 restarts. So, the problem is not in e17: it is in the application (basket in your case). ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ enlightenment-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/enlightenment-devel
