Version: 4:3.5.1-2 (from Debian unstable) (using KDE KDE 3.5.1) Installed from: Debian testing/unstable Packages OS: Linux First off, It's very possible that this bug surfaces for me in a way that it doesn't for the average user because of my atypical configuration. First off, I'm not using a full KDE desktop environment. Instead, I'm just using a simple window manager (Ion3). Still, though, I feel as though Kopete shouldn't have any problems with Ion3, and also I suspect that this problem might not involve Ion3. However, it might involve a component that I don't have installed. Secondly, I'm running this a relatively recent 2.6.15 Linux kernel on an IBM Thinkpad T42. This might be relevant to how I cause this bug to surface, because I'm using the ACPI sleep that's compiled into this kernel. What I notice is that Kopete gives me bubble notifications perfectly fine when it's first executed. If I perform an ACPI S3 sleep/resume cycle, then the bubble notifications fail to work again. To get them to work again, I need to quit and restart Kopete. Please let me know any ideas you have for dealing with this. I'd be happy to do a little diagnostic digging on my end too.
run a full KDE environment and then attempt to reproduce the bug. if it goes away when running a full KDE environment, then that would rule out something wrong in Kopete. I'm assuming that you don't have a system tray with ion3, so where do the bubble notifications normally show up at?
Hi, Actually Tuomo (the lead developer of Ion3) has put in some really accomodating functionality into Ion3. There are system tray options available for Ion3. One is that he recognizes KDE-style system tray icons, and has two places where he allows us to put them: 1) integrated into his text-based statusbar 2) integrated into a WindowMaker-compatible dock. For non-KDE system tray icons, I have to use a tool like docker, a wm solution for system tray icons that ends up in the dock. I use the WindowMaker-compatible dock (without docker), because with just system tray icons, it doesn't take up much real-estate (it's "always-on-top"), and there's hot-keying to toggle its visibility. I generally keep it visible in the top-right corner. In Ion3, for the most part, it only covers up the title bar. Now that you know a little bit about system tray support in Ion3, I can answer your question for easily. The bubble notification pops up somewhat next to the systemtray icon just outside the dock (I'd assumed placement was more governed by Ion3 than by you guys, but I might be wrong). I've got no problem with the placement or readability. It's just that it stops working after a sleep or suspend. In an older version of Kopete, the system tray icon danced around, so it was really easy for me to see when I had messages. Now, it just changes to a static bubble icon. Without the pop-up notifications, I don't always immediately see when I have messages. - Sukant On Sunday 26 February 2006 8:57 am, Matt Rogers mattr-at-kde.org |KDE Bugzilla| wrote: [bugs.kde.org quoted mail]
I cannot reproduce that here.
You mean the yellow balloon kopete notification ? or the knotify passive popup notification ?
