The plugin does load, but there is no icon shown on the systray. If I move the mouse pointer over the area I expect the systray icon to be at, and right-click, the proper context menu (that is, the one belonging to xchat-systray) _does_ show up. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.emerge xchat-systray (once) 2. start xchat 3. Expected Results: The software should display the xchat icon in the notification area. It seems this is an icon path problem, see also: http://fedoraforum.org/forum/showthread.php?p=243104#post243104 emerge --info Portage 2.0.51.19 (default-linux/x86/2005.0, gcc-3.3.5-20050130, glibc-2.3.4.20041102-r1, 2.6.11-gentoo-r9 i686) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.11-gentoo-r9 i686 Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 3.20GHz Gentoo Base System version 1.4.16 Python: dev-lang/python-2.3.5 [2.3.5 (#1, May 4 2005, 22:58:55)] ccache version 2.3 [enabled] dev-lang/python: 2.3.5 sys-apps/sandbox: [Not Present] sys-devel/autoconf: 2.59-r6, 2.13 sys-devel/automake: 1.7.9-r1, 1.8.5-r3, 1.5, 1.4_p6, 1.6.3, 1.9.5 sys-devel/binutils: 2.15.92.0.2-r10 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.16 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.8.1-r2 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CFLAGS="-O2 -mcpu=pentium4 -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/kde/2/share/config /usr/kde/3.3/env /usr/kde/3.3/share/config /usr/kde/3.3/shutdown /usr/kde/3/share/config /usr/lib/X11/xkb /usr/lib/mozilla/defaults/pref /usr/share/config /var/qmail/control" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/gconf /etc/terminfo /etc/env.d" CXXFLAGS="-O2 -mcpu=pentium4 -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="autoaddcvs autoconfig ccache distlocks sandbox sfperms strict" GENTOO_MIRRORS="ftp://files.gentoo.gr ftp://ftp.ntua.gr/pub/linux/gentoo/ http://ftp.ntua.gr/pub/linux/gentoo/ ftp://ftp.uoi.gr/mirror/OS/gentoo/ http://ftp.ceid.upatras.gr/pub/linux/gentoo ftp://ftp.ceid.upatras.gr/pub/linux/gentoo http://gentoo.osuosl.org http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/distributions/gentoo" LANG="el_GR.utf8" LC_ALL="el_GR.utf8" LINGUAS="el en" MAKEOPTS="-j3" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" SYNC="rsync://rsync.europe.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="x86 X a52 aac acpi alsa apache2 avi bash-completion berkdb bitmap-fonts bluetooth cdr crypt cups curl dedicated doc dts dv dvd dvdr dvdread eds emboss encode esd ethereal exif fam ffmpeg flac foomaticdb fortran ftp gd gdbm geoip gif gimpprint gnome gphoto2 gpm gstreamer gtk gtk2 hal icq imagemagick imlib ithreads java javascript joystick jpeg junit lcms libg++ libwww mad matroska mikmod mmx mozilla mp3 mpeg msn ncurses nls nptl ogg oggvorbis opengl oss pam pcre pdflib perl png ppds python quicktime readline rrdtool samba sdl speex spell sse sse2 ssl svg svga tcpd threads tiff truetype truetype-fonts type1-fonts unicode usb vcd videos vorbis wmf wxgtk1 wxwindows xine xml2 xv xvid yv12 zlib linguas_el linguas_en userland_GNU kernel_linux elibc_glibc" Unset: ASFLAGS, CBUILD, CTARGET, LDFLAGS, PORTDIR_OVERLAY
Did you adjust the "Select icons path" setting under "SysTray settings" to be "/usr/share/xchat-systray/"? You need to do it manually.

Apologies Sven, just saw your response. I tried what you suggested and worked flawlessly. Shouldn't this information though be installed automatically for all users? I'm not an experienced linux user I must confess...
The ebuild should have printed this information after merging: * * As of 2.4.5 the images will be installed seperately and will not be included * in the binary. The images have been installed in /usr/share/xchat-systray * * Please update your settings accordingly! * I've updated the mesage to: * * The icons have been installed in /usr/share/xchat-systray * * The icons path is a per-user setting and you need to set it or the icons * will not show up in the menu. Please go to 'Systray settings' and set * 'Select icons path' to /usr/share/xchat-systray to set the icons path. *

Good job mate, keep the portage great. :)
I'm thinking about making a patch that uses /usr/share/xchat-systray as a default if the settings is not set yet. This way it just works for our users.

Been there, done that. I just add xchat-systray-2.4.5-r2 that has patch to use the /usr/share/xchat-systray setting as a default for new users and also uses it as a fallback if the user supplied settings is not accessible.
