#24 xxkb sometimes treated as tray icon despite window type normal

[Felix E. Klee]

From my ~/.xxkbrc:

XXkb.mainwindow.type: normal

Still sometimes stalonetray swallows xxkb. This happens erratically.

Output of xprop:

Can you please post stalonetray output with --log-level trace? I hope it would show why it decided that Xxkb windows is an KDE icon...

Says awaiting moderation, but I guess you can already see my post.

Stalonetray author here. I see that XXkb sends a messare requesting it to be embedded into a tray:

Apr 27 10:48:23 stalonetray tray_main(): ClientMessage(from 0xc00001?)
Apr 27 10:48:23 stalonetray client_message(): message "_NET_SYSTEM_TRAY_OPCODE"
Apr 27 10:48:23 stalonetray client_message(): this is the
_NET_SYSTEM_TRAY_OPCODE(0) message
Apr 27 10:48:23 stalonetray client_message(): dockin' requested by
window 0xe00009, serving in a moment
Apr 27 10:48:23 stalonetray add_icon(): starting embedding for icon
0xe00009, cmode=2

xwininfo: Window id: 0xe00009 "XXkb"

< ... snip ... >

Apr 27 10:48:23 stalonetray embedder_reset_size(): proposed icon size: 48x48

So, stalonetray just does what it's being asked to.

[Felix E. Klee]

Thanks for finding that out, @Busa!

But why does it request docking.

See my attached configuration file, which generally works. In the man
page I also found XXkb.mainwindow.in_tray, but - looking at the
source - that seems not supported anymore.
