Description Tsokar 2009-01-09 11:31:42 UTC

Version:            (using Devel)
Compiler:          gcc version 4.3.2 (Ubuntu 4.3.2-1ubuntu11)  
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Compiled sources

In svn revision 907425, systray works well with the default panel.
If I add new panels, and add a systray in those panels, they remain empty.

.. and until we aren't using the xembed syste it won't either.

the systray widget itself can support multiple instances, including with icons in all of them. but the xembed spec doesn't make this realistic (would require composite, keeping the windows offscreen and input redirection)

as we move away from the xembed spec, this will just magically start working as you expect it to. no intention of trying to hack around the legacy icons though, they will always have this interesting behaviour.
