#281 Cannot place unifier into system tray

[Anonymous]

Hi,
I updated TaskUnifier from 3.1.6 to 3.1.9 and after that it cannot be placed into system tray. I just tried
% ksystraycmd .../TaskUnifier.sh
for both versions and in case of 3.1.9
1) I see a general Linux icon in system tray, not green check sign.
2) Clicking on the icon generates these errors, one per click:
X Error: BadWindow (invalid Window parameter) 3
Major opcode: 10 (X_UnmapWindow)
Resource id: 0x3a0007f
X Error: BadWindow (invalid Window parameter) 3
Major opcode: 8 (X_MapWindow)
Resource id: 0x3a0007f
X Error: BadWindow (invalid Window parameter) 3
Major opcode: 12 (X_ConfigureWindow)

Please try TaskUnifier -> Settings -> Minimize in system tray instead.

After checking that setting and minimizing the window, it disappears completely and does not appear in tray. I had to kill it.
On restart, the icon appears in system tray, but it works only in half comparing to other system tray programs: the icon can deiconify but cannot minimize the window.
As workaround the suggestion can work for a while, but it is better be fixed in next releases. Possibly, I will stay with 3.1.6, because quick windows removing from task bar is a big value to me.
Thank you.

Well, that's the way it works and is supposed to work.
You have the window in the task bar when you are using taskunifier, and when you minimize it, it dissapears from task bar and shows in system tray.

I agree that Minimize works as expected, I just want to make sure that taskunifier is compatible with KDE system tray wrapper (ksystemtray). KDE functionality is preferable, I use it for other applications hundreds times a day.
It worked nicely before recently.

You should post this bug to KDE team instead, I don't know how their tool works.

Which bug? That taskunifer 3.1.6 works with ksystemtray and 3.1.9 does not. They will laugh. And it will take a couple of years for me to get a newer KDE, you know corporate environment :(.
