           Summary: Systray icons on session start do not appear
           Product: Xfce Panel Plugins
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: major
          Priority: Medium
         Component: systray
        AssignedTo: xfce-bugs at xfce.org
        ReportedBy: wolovids at hotmail.com


I'm running Ubuntu Hoary with kernel 2.6.9 and X.org 6.8.1 without the composite
extension.  I have GTK+ version 1.6.0 installed with Xfce 4.2.99.2 (RC2)
compiled with the installer.  I'm using the systray and taskbar plugins (expands
to 100% width) in the panel.  

When starting a new Xfce session with either Rox Filer or Nautilus as the
pinboard/filemanager, any applications that start up with a tray icon do not
appear in the systray.  Space is allocated for the icon, however, the space is
empty (blacked out). 

This occurs with Gaim and the xfce calendar apps (and maybe much more) which
both startup with icons in the system tray.  The empty "blacked" out regions
handle click events as normal (i.e. brings up right-click context menu).

NOTE: This also occurred with 4.2.99.1 (RC1) but not with the 4.0.x series.  I
have not downgraded my GTK version to 2.4.x to rule out changes to GTK from
2.4->2.6.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start an XFCE session with Gaim/Xfce Calendar (or any program that can put an
icon in the system tray)
2. Logout saving the session
3. Log back in opening saved session

Actual Results:  
Systray plugin in panel provides spaces for the icons for Gaim and Xfce Calendar
but the spaces are empty or "blacked" out.

Expected Results:  
The icons should have appeared

I will upload a screenshot shortly.
