Subject: restarting awesome empties systray applet in gnome panel
Date: Tue, 28 Apr 2009 11:59:36 +0200
Package: awesome
Version: 3.2.1-1
Severity: normal

When I restart awesome (Mod4 + Ctrl + R), the systray applet in the Gnome
panel is emptied. Even restarting applications like zim or nm-applet
doesn't bring back their icons there.

I have to remove the applet and re-add it to make it work again.

I don't use naughty, it's commented out in .config/rc.lua so I don't see
how awesome is interferring here.

-- Notification library
-- require("naughty")

I use the Gnome session in gdm and I start awesome via gnome-wm.

naughty is just used for notification protocol (notification-daemon in
GNOME), and is not used for system tray.

Unfortunately, awesome always start its own system tray, even if the
systray widget is not used. That's why it fails probably to run with
gnome-panel
