Bug 473024 – net-irc/hexchat with {cinnamon,kde} - hexchat does not restore tray icon after window manager restarts

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED UPSTREAM

[Description Austin English (RETIRED) 2013-06-11 20:17:54 UTC]

Occasionally, cinnamon (gnome-extra/cinnamon-1.6.7-r1) will freak out and seems to restart. When this happens, hexchat loses its tray icon, but continues to run. Skype/pidgin, on the other hand, keep their icon and I am able to continue where I left off at.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Run hexchat, restart cinnamon.
Actual Results:  
Hexchat tray icon disappears.

Expected Results:  
Hexchat still has a tray icon.

try with 2.9.5 (which is stable) and reopen if it still applies

[Comment 2 Denis M. (Phr33d0m) 2013-06-12 20:28:45 UTC]

This has been happening since xchat and hasn't been fixed in hexchat to date.
It also happens in KDE as well if you restart `plasma-desktop`, the tray icon does not reattach to the systray bar.

[Comment 3 Julian Ospald 2013-06-13 10:49:19 UTC]

is this reported upstream?

[Comment 4 Denis M. (Phr33d0m) 2013-06-13 12:23:47 UTC]

Yes it was reported and I was following it some months ago (see $URL) altough it seems to have been marked as fixed (at least for 2.9.5) but the issue persists (at least with cinnamon and KDE) as we have confirmed here.

Btw, I just bumped them on that issue.

[Comment 5 Julian Ospald 2013-12-27 22:27:45 UTC]

I am not sure what I can do here. If there is a fix, reopen and attach. I usually keep track of upstream progress anyway, so backporting something is not a problem.

Bug #583918 might be related.
