Hi, Recently, I set my GNOME panel to be transparent. Now, all status icons (in the notification area) also have a transparent background (XChat of example), except for Gajim which uses the system default background color and looks out-of-place. I am using Gajim 0.11.1 from the stable tree, but the problem seems to be the same when using the upstream 0.11.1 or 0.11.4. I asked some Ubuntu people, and they don't have this problem. Using Gajim built from the Ubuntu source did not help either. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Set GNOME panel to be transparent 2. Start Gajim Actual Results: The Gajim tray icon has a non-transparent background Expected Results: Transparent background of the Gajim tray icon

Comment on attachment 143987 [details] Screenshot to show the Problem. I can't solve this Problem but i think to know where the Problem is. The Icon has as Background Color the Color of the Panel this is the description of Gnome-Color-Chooser i have installed. The Panel itself has another background-color (thisone you can change in the Panel options menue). I have made an Screenshot which should show the difference (no this color's are not my default!!!) If you use something like compiz or beryl you would not see this i think. This is the reason i don't saw is in my old ~86 Gentoo with compiz-fusion.
I looked into this problem. The problem is caused by ``/usr/share/gajim/src/systray.py``. It imports one of these modules: ``egg.trayicon`` (preferably) which is part of gnome-python-extras or ``trayicon`` which is part of Gajim. Now, you can either change this file and change ``egg.trayicon`` to ``egg.trayicon_``, which causes the import to fail, so Gajim uses it's own module which does work. Then, I tried unmasking gnome-python-extras-2.19.1-r1, and ``egg.trayicon`` was working. I wanted to see for a patch, as 2.19 seems to be a development version. The Gentoo tree contains 2.14.2, but the GNOME FTP server does have 2.14.3 available. Now that is the exact version this bug was fixed: <http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/sources/gnome-python-extras/2.14/gnome-python-extras-2.14.3.news> I'll file a bug to update and stabilize the gnome-python-extras 2.14.3 ebuild.
Old, and apparently not a Gajim problem? Feel free to re-open if you believe that this is still an issue!
