I have two to three icons on the system tray most of the time: - NetworkManager - Pidgin - Guake Lately, sometimes the systray does not show any of them, just the empty border box. If it does display icons, the icons are shown in reduced size, sometimes scaled down by 2 (on both axis), sometimes just a little bit smaller, but never taking the full area. When reverting to panel 4.7.4, the systray seems sane again.
+ 13 Dec 2010; Samuli Suominen <ssuominen@gentoo.org> + +xfce4-panel-4.7.4.ebuild, xfce4-panel-4.7.6.ebuild: + Restore xfce4-panel-4.7.4 wrt #348615 by Sebastian Pipping (and Jory A. Pratt + from IRC). The bug is known upstream, 4.7.7 will sort it out...
Thanks for bring back 4.7.4.
