Broken tray

[arsonoff]

Broken tray after restarting: "killall -SIGHUP icewm" or via menu.
Tray appears in a separate window (It becomes visible after the start of the next the system tray application).
Corrected command "killall icewmtray && icewmtray –notify", but not all applications handle this correctly.

Strange: I tried both: restarting with menu and killall -SIGHUP icewm and both restart without any issues with the tray. What version are you using on which distro?

[arsonoff]

I have same issue, Debian Jessie, IceWM 1.3.12.34

[bbidulock]

Sorry, I can't recreate this. How are you launching icewm? If with an XSession file, is it the stock file? Are you launching the tray an icewm separately or using icewm-session?

[arsonoff]

How are you launching icewm?

.xinitrc

...
DISPLAY=:0.0 exec icewm-session

[bbidulock]

Here's what I do (from console):

startx /usr/bin/icewm-session

When icewm comes up, I select restart from the menu and no issues with tray.
I open a terminal and issue:

killall -HUP icewm

Still no issues with tray.
I run this on version 1.3.12.32 built as icewm-git from Arch Linux AUR with no ~/.icewm directory.
I run this on release version 1.3.12 built as icewm2 from Arch Linux AUR with no ~/.icewm directory.
Perhaps you can try running it from a console exactly as I have shown here and see if the issue persists.

[bedna-KU]

I tried run IceWM with "startx /usr/bin/icewm-session" and same issue. IceWM version 1.3.12.32 (Compiled from git), Debian Jessie.

[bbidulock]

Are you using debian's package?

[bedna-KU]

No, compiling source from this git (version 1.3.12.32).

[bbidulock]

What version is your X server?

[bedna-KU]

apt-cache show xserver-xorg | grep Version
Version: 1:7.7+7

[bbidulock]

@arsonoff: 1.17.2 is old: I'm at 1.18.3. The entire. 1.17 series had problems.

@bedna-KU try:

Xorg -version

I get:

Release Date: 2014 it sounds funny :)

[arsonoff]

1.17.2 is old:

Release Date: 2015-06-16

1.17 series had problems.

Icewm 1.3.8. has no such problem. In 1.3.7 mistake it seemed.
It is some periodically emerging mistake.

[bbidulock]

I'm sorry, I can''t recreate on any of my systems: ergo, I can't debug it. If you can identify a commit where you don't experience the problem, you could try a git bisect to narrow down the commit that created the problem for you. If you are unfamiliar with git bisect try:

man git-bisect

to see how to go about running it to narrow down the commit that introduced the issue. I would do it, but I can't because I cannot get the problem to appear. Do you think that is something that you could try?

[bedna-KU]

i'm working on it. So far IceWM 1.3.12.19 is work OK, I need more time to test.

[arsonoff]

man git-bisect

Xorg (tray appears in a separate window) :
a772e67 is the first bad commit

Xephyr (tray missing):
3b6fc2a is the first bad commit

Xephyr + 2b0df4d = #75
(Xephyr 800x600, vlc 800x551, icewm tooltip - vlc is 328x203)

[arsonoff]

OK. Tray is displayed correctly in the Xorg and in the Xephyr.
(Before I not correctly started icewm in Xyphyr from directory ./src)

There was a small roughness:

# the tray is empty
vlc &
killall -SIGHUP icewm
killall vlc
# the tray didn't release space
killall -SIGHUP icewm
# in a tray "a black hole" (background color)

Fix: In a tray some application shall be always started

[bedna-KU]

Works fine for me
