Since >=net-im/pidgin-2.7.0 the usual tray icon is not shown and instead an icon containing a "?" is shown, i.e. pidgin is unable to locate the tray icon. This happens in trayer, enlightenment-0.17, etc. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge >=pidgin-2.7.0 2. launch trayer or enlightenment-0.17 3. launch pidgin Actual Results: A "?" icon is shown in the tray Expected Results: The pidgin icon should be shown A workaround was provided in pidgin-2.7.1. From the changelog: "Add configure option --enable-trayicon-compat which installs tray icons into directories that are compatible with older versions of hicolor-icon-theme (0.9)." Installing pidgin with --enable-trayicon-compat re-enables the tray icon in trayer or enlightenment.

placed in directories named as "actions" instead of "status". But simply symlinking "status" to "actions" does not give back the tray icons. I believe it is hard coded to check for "actions" directory only if --enable-trayicon-compat is used. Otherwise it uses "status" directory, which does not work in trayer or enlightenment (it does work in kde4 for example). It might have something to do with some new systray specfications that have been adopted by amarok also, and where the same problem again surfaces.
Created attachment 234997 [details, diff] pidgin-2.7.1.ebuild.patch Please, try attached patch. if it does not work, drop -s in ln line. I failed to find anywhere anything hardcoded in the sources and I've found on upstream bug report that symlinking worked for some people.
Created attachment 235003 [details, diff] Modified patch to the ebuild Thank you! The above patch gives a sandbox violation (probably because it tries to create a symlink on /). I had to tweak your patch a bit. But it does work fine. New patch to the ebuild is attached.
I guess I can drop the "cd" lines, since you are already doing a pushd/popd.
(In reply to comment #5) > The above patch gives a sandbox violation (probably because it tries > to create a symlink on /). Ah true. Well, in case relative symlinks work for you... Fixed in pidgin-2.7.1-r1.
