[Pkg-xfce-devel] Bug#523658: xfce4-panel: Problem with system tray and vertical panel

[Torquil Macdonald Sørensen]

Package: xfce4-panel
Version: 4.4.2-6
Severity: normal

Hi! I'm having some problems with the XFCE panel and the network manager (NM)
applet (network-manager-gnome).

With a horizontal panel at the bottom of the screen there is no problem. After
login, the NM applet is started automatically, and it is displayed in the
system tray.

When reconfiguring the panel to be vertical on the left side, the NM applet icon
in the system tray disappears, although the process "nm-applet" is still running.

After logging in (while having a vertical panel) the NM applet is not shown in the
system tray. But reconfiguring the panel to be horizontal makes the icon appear.
After changing back to vertical the icon is still there.

Best regards
Torquil Sørensen
