[Amsn-devel] Work on tray icon

[Stéphane B. <ste...@gm...>]

Hi all,
as some of you may know I am working to improve the tray icon. Sadly
it is a really hard work and requires a lot of energy... The results
so far are good, but I get to a point where I need some more brain
power to figure out what is wrong, so here I am with patches and an
explanation of what happens.
First the patches. For now you'll have to live with git-style patches,
when everything will be fixed and cleaned I will send svn diffs. You
can find all the patches here: http://www.sbisinger.net/amsn/

Now here is what I am trying to do: I am trying to make the tray icon
appear when aMSN is started BEFORE a system tray is available. The
detection of the new tray is correct, but - as you will see if you
used ./configure --enable-debugging - the tray window will be of size
1x1 instead of 24x24 (which is the defined minimum width and height).
I can't figure out why this happens!! The code used for window
creation is exactly the same in both cases (if you dive into the code
you'll see that) so I really can't figure it out. Any
ideas/suggestions?
Also, on a sidenote, I'd like you to test if the normal behaviour is
the same as before... My tests seeem to indicate I did it right, but
who knows?

Thanks!

P.S.: If some of you would like to understand better how the
communication between aMSN -> tray works, here are the relevant specs:
