Version: unspecified (using KDE 4.5.90) OS: Linux As someone thought it was a good idea removing that popup volume slider altogether instead of fixing the thing that you couldn‘t double-click the icon to trigger the kmix window, now kmix instantly appears on clicking its tray icon which is especially annoying if you haven‘t got a scroll wheel (notebook!) which makes chaning volume a hard act (when not using Fn-keys). But then at least open the KMix window where its tray icon is. So, clicking the KMix tray icon would open its window almost right where your mouse is (like the old popup did). At the moment it opens in the top left corner of the screen if you hadn‘t have it opened already. Reproducible: Always
Fixed in KDE4.6RC2
Worked 2 hours ago. Now its broken without any code change. :-( Currently the popup never appears. Instead the main window is shown. Have to check this. :-(((
It works again. No code change. Whats going on here?!?
Seems fixed in 4.6, the default overall volume slider appears like it used to in 4.5.x :)
this is not fixed. The title is: kmix should open near it's tray icon. For me that means that (like in windows 7), when you choose to open the kmix window, it should open just above the tray. Not in the top-left corner. To make it worse, it also does not remember its location, so it ALWAYS opens in the top left corner. GRRR. Using arch linux. Latest everything, kde 4.6.5
It seems when KMix is using the black-and-white icon, the slider opens fine but when (don’t know the circumstance for this though) it uses the classic colored one then the whole mixer window opens (instead of the master volume thing) and this opens as already said in the top left corner.
I have verified that KMix indeed asks the popup to open near the tray icon. Alas, this request is not honored in certain situations and setups. For example I see in the KMix logs: kmix(7244) KMixDockWidget::activate: moving to QSize(190, 232) 1340 774 This means: move the KMix window to (190, 232) and with size 1340,774. But it does not work. I am completely clueless, as KMix seems to do everything right and I don't know where the issue could be addressed (Window-manager, Style, Plasma, ...).
Oh, I found something. I will try to fix it in KDE4.7 and for KDE4.8.
