This sounds similar to the bug I've had reported to me by a Debian user
about you always cropping all systray icons now to 24x24.

cf http://bugs.debian.org/236686

If I use the biggest size of the systray the icon get's OK,
but it's not a solution.
I think that would be good if it's resizeable

Biggest? Nah, the icon is still fairly small even in gaim 0.75. Can you
post a small screenshot?

The submitter of the Debian bug has given me:
before: http://www.eecs.harvard.edu/~ccshan/debbugs/xfce/tray.png
after: http://www.eecs.harvard.edu/~ccshan/debbugs/xfce/tray-wrong.png

He has his systray on the taskbar and then in the new version his workrave
icon is cut off (the time disappears).

I think this is a bug but I'm not sure if it's yours or workrave's.  Is
there a spec which says they're only allowed to be 24x24 somewhere?

Can you try with this version of libxfcegui4:

No, this doesn't help I'm afraid.

The problem is that KDE and GNOME apps seem to return -1 -1 to
gtk_widget_get_size_request.

If you look at
http://developer.gnome.org/doc/API/2.0/gtk/GtkWidget.html#gtk-widget-get-size-request
then -1 means no explicit size has been set.  Reading the API I thought
you'd made a mistake in not using gtk_widget_size_request but then I tried
with that and it just returns 1 and 1 each time.

I tried some other bits like looking at the widget's allocation but that
didn't help.

The workrave icon is just bigger than 24 pixels and I'm not sure how you
work out that it wants to be that big.

I looked at the gnome-panel source and it seems to work out when the panel
is vertical or horizontal and only set the other dimension.

I don't think that would work with KDE apps though so to get this right in
all cases I think you need a patch like the one Debian used to use.

Humm, nope, the patch you are refereing to is from Benny, and it was a hack
(from his own words).

So it's a non fix issue.

But that means GTK apps like workrave are having their systray icons cut
off.

Why would you not want to fix this for all apps?
