Category: None Group: 2.0.0 beta 5 Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Michael Stather (michaelstather) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: gaim starts minimized when it should start in tray Initial Comment: On ubuntu edgy, when I quit GNOME with gaim in the tray (and with the session manager enabled), when I restart the system it should start in the tray as well, but it start with the contact list minimized. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Casey Harkins (charkins) Date: 2007-02-25 19:43 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=254876 Originator: NO Patch #1668668 should hopefully fix this. If you're comfortable building gaim yourself, you could try applying this to the beta6 source and see if it solves your problem. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Casey Harkins (charkins) Date: 2007-02-11 19:01 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=254876 Originator: NO Sorry, I've been on the road pretty much straight for the last couple weeks (and leaving again in the morning). I should have some time later this week to devote to this and a couple other tray related bugs. This particular bug is likely a problem with the asynchronous creation/embedding of the tray icon in the notification area. I've got an idea on how to fix this (hopefully for good this time). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Michael Stather (michaelstather) Date: 2007-02-11 03:43 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=392303 Originator: YES Is there anything I can do to help with debugging? I'd really like if this would be fixed before the next version. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Michael Stather (michaelstather) Date: 2007-01-25 10:33 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=392303 Originator: YES No sorry it's just that when I start gaim using the script and I log-out and log-in gaim starts in the tray, but when I restart my system gaim always starts maximized. So the problem is, I can't use that script because then gaim won't use the session manager and the bug won't be visible. In general, since distributions like ubuntu don't use the session manager by default, there should be a simple switch in the options "start in tray" and "auto-connect on open" so the users can enable this and add gaim to the autostart ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Michael Stather (michaelstather) Date: 2007-01-25 10:08 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=392303 Originator: YES The strange thing is, when I start GAIM with autostart (and not with the session manager) GAIM always starts in the tray. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Casey Harkins (charkins) Date: 2007-01-17 10:36 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=254876 Originator: NO Can you get the gaim debug output with timestamps for this? You'd first need to open the debug window in gaim and make sure the timestamps option is selected. Next, you'll probably need to create a shell script to run gaim, something like this: #!/bin/sh /usr/bin/gaim -d > /tmp/gaim.log Finally, change your gnome session to start gaim using this script instead. There should be a "Sessions" tool under the System->Preferences menu in Gnome. Log in and out of gnome until you get gaim to start minimized (instead of hidden to tray), then attach the gaim.log here. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Michael Stather (michaelstather) Date: 2007-01-13 04:43 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=392303 Originator: YES This is still the case with beta5, but in a slightly different way. When gaim is in the tray on session logout, it sometimes starts restored (the window is visible) on login. About half the time, the other half everything works fine. I experienced this on ubuntu edgy with session management enabled. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Luke Schierer (lschiere) Date: 2007-01-10 13:40 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=28833 Originator: NO This bug was filed against an old version of gaim. If you are not using the lastest version, please upgrade.
