I get a lot of troubles with trayer when changing or restarting a recipe. Most
of the tray icons are just lost after the recipe change.
It come from
Settings of Trayer {{{1
AddToFunc ExitFunction I Exec exec killall trayer
AddToFunc StartFunction I Exec exec trayer \
...
According to freedesktop specification, a program must be able to lost the
trayer application and reconnect when it come back. It implies at a systray
program must be able to stop and restart without loosing the icons. A
workaround would be to add functions so at we can change the characteristics of
a running trayer instance so at it will be not needed anymore to kill and
restart it when changing the recipe.
Some programs as sylpheed-claws are working fine even when I change the recipe,
but other as qjackctl or glashctl just lost their systray icon. When this
append, it is often no other choice as to kill and restart them.
I discussed with the qjackctl dev that made the systray function for this
program. He is sure at qjackctl is freedesktop compliant in that regard.
So it is a problem with trayer. Is it a feature that we can hope to see in the
future with trayer?
I know almost nothing in C so I cannot help to hack this issue.
Ciao,
Dominique
