I have trouble with audacious-2.2_beta1: it fails to display an application window. I usually have the status icon plugin enabled, so audacious starts up as an icon in my kde 3.5 kicker system tray. Clicking on said icon usually brings up the application main window. With 2.2_beta1 that no longer works. One of the items in the context menu opens the preferences dialog. There I can disable the status icon plugin. Still no application window appears. Re-enabling the status icon plugin gives me an icon, but not in the place where the first one used to be, but in a new system tray slot. Repeatedly activating and deactivating the status icon plugin gives me a bunch of empty slots in my tray. When I exit audacious, with the status icon plugin enabled, via the exit item in the context menu, then all of these empty tray slots vanish along with the audacious icon. When I restart audacious from the command line, no error message gets written to stdout or stderr. When I deactivate the status icon plugin again and then close the preferences dialog, the status icon is gone, but still no application window appears, leaving me little room for interaction with the app. I can Ctrl+C it on the command line. Restarting it still brings up neither icon nor window. A -m command line switch for "show main window" doesn't help. When I downgrade back to 2.1, working around bug 290385, I still get no application window, and no icon either. The latter is probably due to the fact that I disabled the status icon plugin. Renaming my ~/.config/audacious directory resolved the issue for me, at the cost of loosing all my configuration. Looking closer at the config files, I noted some properties called player_visible and player_visible_prev which are likely involved in all of this. The player_visible_prev seems to be newly introduced with 2.2_beta1 and might get a bad default value when upgrading from 2.1. To get audacious to show the main window, the following command seems useful: sed -i 's/^\(player_visible.*\)=FALSE/\1=TRUE/' ~/.config/audacious/config Steps to reproduce: 1. mv -i ~/.config/audacious ~/.config/audacious.bac 2. emerge -1C audacious-plugins 3. emerge -1k =audacious-plugins-2.1-r1 =audacious-2.1 4. audacious2 5. Preferences / Plugins / General 6. Enable "Status Icon", close Preferences dialog 7. Press on icon => window disappears 8. Right-click on icon / Exit 9. grep -E '^player_visible|^\[' ~/.config/audacious/config [audacious] player_visible=FALSE [skins] player_visible=FALSE [AudioCompress] [statusicon] [streambrowser] 10. emerge -1k audacious-plugins audacious 11. audacious => icon, but no window 12. Right-click on icon / Exit 13. grep -E '^player_visible|^\[' ~/.config/audacious/config [audacious] player_visible=FALSE [skins] player_visible=FALSE player_visible_prev=FALSE [AudioCompress] [statusicon] [streambrowser] [alsa-gapless] 14. audacious 15. Right-click on icon / Preferences / Plugins / General 16. Disable "Status Icon" 17. Enable "Status Icon" => icon appears in new slot 18. Disable "Status Icon", close Preferences dialog => neither window nor icon 19. Ctrl+C to exit audacious 20. emerge -1C audacious-plugins 21. emerge -1k =audacious-plugins-2.1-r1 =audacious-2.1 22. audacious2 => no window, no cursor 23. Ctrl+C to exit audacious2
