Bug 290783 – x11-base/xorg-server: after update to 1.7.1 icons in tray disappeared

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED OBSOLETE

[Description Yaroslav Isakov 2009-10-27 17:49:05 UTC]

Hello, I installed xorg-server-1.7.1 and all appropriate deps. When I restart X, and start f.ex. liferea or gajim, icons are not shown in tray. I can move mouse over them, and see tooltips, or I can click on them, but they are transparent. BTW, icon for keepassx (qt4 app) is shown.

I don't think this has anything to do with X.org upgrade, but the shared-mime-info upgrade.

# emerge shared-mime-info

And read the elog message.

[Comment 2 Yaroslav Isakov 2009-10-27 19:43:15 UTC]

I re-emerged shared-mime-info-0.60, do
update-mime-database ~/.local/share/mime/
and this doesn't help.
After that, updating to shared-mime-info-0.70 and doing previously mentioned command also doesn't help

I have the same problem, some trayicons aren't displayed. In my case kopete and wpa_supplicant gui are affected, kgpg and nepomuk are shown. Happened after upgrade to xorg-server-1.7.1 and update-mime-database $PATH didn't help.

I am not sure if it is the same problem, but after upgrade to xorg-server-1.7.1 tray icons for GTK apps are show with gray background in system tray. I am using KDE 4.3.1.

[Comment 5 Rémi Cardona (RETIRED) 2009-10-28 16:13:13 UTC]

Which DEs are you all using?

Thanks

[Comment 6 Sebastian Rose 2009-10-28 16:41:20 UTC]

I'm using kde-4.3 (~amd64) and, if of interest, the radeonhd driver (version 1.3.0).

[Comment 7 Yaroslav Isakov 2009-10-28 17:23:14 UTC]

I'm using gnome-2.26 (and nouveau video driver)

[Comment 8 Sebastian Rose 2009-10-31 11:06:19 UTC]

I have solved this problem at least for me. I was using this line in the device section of my xorg.conf:
Option     "MigrationHeuristic" "greedy"
If commented it out, the icons are visible again (and a few other quirks are gone).

[Comment 9 Yaroslav Isakov 2009-11-04 11:13:07 UTC]

Oh, I found that nouveau is the cause of this bug, when KMS is disabled. When I enable KMS, icons are shown correctly.
