After a contact with a XFCE developer, it turned out that you were
right: the systray was already in the taskbar, while I was trying to
add it to the panel. However, as you said, I found the error message
quite misleading, since it doesn't allow to understand why it doesn't
want to add the systray to the panel.
So, I think this bug per-se can be closed, however it would be nice if
upstream could change the error message to something more meaningful.
Sincerly,
Thomas

Bug#328846: xfce4-systray: Cannot use the Systray plugin
Package: xfce4-systray Version: 4.2.2-1 Severity: grave Justification: renders package unusable Hi, When I try to add the System tray plugin to my XFCE panel, it simply displays a dialog box with « Impossible to create panel element Systemtray » (this message is a translation from french to english, as I'm running with a french locale. The real english message might be different). I think this is an upstream bug since I have the exact same problem on a Mandriva distribution.

Thomas Petazzoni [EMAIL PROTECTED] (17/09/2005): Hi, Hi. When I try to add the System tray plugin to my XFCE panel, it simply displays a dialog box with « Impossible to create panel element Systemtray » (this message is a translation from french to english, as I'm running with a french locale. The real english message might be different). Got the same problem too, on Sid. To get the real english message: $ killall xfce4-panel $ export LANG=C $ xfce4-panel Here it is: Could not create panel item Systemtray. I think this is an upstream bug since I have the exact same problem on a Mandriva distribution. I'll try to have a look at it, I never used it till now.

Cyril Brulebois [EMAIL PROTECTED] (17/09/2005): I'll try to have a look at it, I never used it till now. Seems to be known upstream as #1098 [1]. For information, the error message is issued from 666th line of xfce4-panel-4.2.2/panel/controls.c I guess that we'll have to check periodically upstream reactions. The last one was a suspicion about race condition or something like that.
