Description Luca Bigliardi 2009-10-20 01:08:41 UTC

Version:            (using KDE 4.3.2)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Debian testing/unstable Packages

Hi,
I'm using kmix from kde 4.3.2 on fluxbox.
I have "Enable system tray volume control" set in the configuration
but when I left-click on kmix icon in the tray I have the main
window displayed instead of the tray volume control.

When used in fluxbox KNotificationItem uses a legacy system tray
icon. It seems some activity from this KNotificationLegacyIcon is
not handled correctly either in the KNotificationItem or in the
KMixDockWidget.


Thank you,
Luca

Are you using the regular KDE Panel for displaying the Dock widgets, or some other Panel like Netbook Remix or Gnome panel?

Please post a screenshot.

Some panels don't support all options, for example the Netbook Remix doesn't support middle mouse button, and displays a generic menu there.

Hi?

I'm using the default fluxbox tray which definitively supports left clicks. :)

kmix tray volume control works perfectly with kmix from 4.2, the behaviour
I'm describing it's a regression introduced in 4.3 .

Please see my first comment for some hints about the classes which may trigger
the problem if a non-kde system tray (aka legacy) is used.

I'm not going to post a screenshot because I think it's useless.

Thank you,

Luca

KMix is using the normal KDE Systray support. Are other KDE applications working?
My guess is rather an issue in the "fluxbox tray".

As the bug reporter doesn't give any of the requested feedback for at least 5 months, this bug report will be closed.

Comment 6 Maximiliano Curia 2014-07-26 16:03:11 UTC

The issue is still reproduceable launching kmix almost any non kde system with a systray. I think that the KMenu trick as done in KMixDockWidget::KMixDockWidget is not working outside KDE.

Screenshot showing that system tray volume icon is not displayed

Sometimes, system tray volume icon is not displayed. It seems to be random, or I can not determine what trigger this...
