[compiz] All apps jumped out of the boat (systray) again.
List, Mayday, app overboard! All of the systray applications have jumped out of the systray and have been found scattered over workspaces 1 and 4. I saved as many as I could and I have them shown along the side of workspace 1. There was one, klipper, that was placed beyond the screed and could not be saved this time. See: http://www.3111skyline.com/download/screenshot/compiz/compiz-systray.jpg http://www.3111skyline.com/download/screenshot/compiz/compiz-systray1.jpg This happens very frequently. On average every other boot (since this is a laptop, that happens frequently). I would like to find out (1) why this occurs? and (2) how to fix it. My OS is openSuSE 10.3 with the following installed: [root Rankin-P35a/home/david] # rpm -qa | grep compiz compiz-emerald-themes-0.6.0-1.1 python-compizconfig-0.6.0-1.3 compiz-fusion-plugins-main-0.6.0-2.1 compiz-fusion-plugins-unsupported-0.6.0-1.3 compiz-0.6.2-2.1 compiz-manager-0.0.1_git071019-13.1 compiz-kde-0.6.2-2.1 compiz-emerald-0.5.2_git070825-1.4 compizconfig-settings-manager-0.6.0-1.4 libcompizconfig-0.6.0-1.3 compiz-fusion-plugins-extra-0.6.0-1.3 Compiz does not autostart requiring a manual run of fusion-icon to get compiz running. I suspect the problems are related. Does anyone have any ideas why this is happening. How can I make the apps stay in the systray for good? -- David C. Rankin, J.D., P.E.
