           Summary: A bug in xftaskbar4
           Product: Xfce
           Version: 4.1.91 (4.2beta2)
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Medium
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: xfce-bugs at xfce.org
        ReportedBy: sweiss4 at gmx.net


That bug is a bit difficult to describe, hope I can explain it well. I
experience this bug with SIM, a KDE app. I've not tested it with other apps
because I don't know other apps which require this functionality.

First of all, when I start the application, it shows a select profile screen,
which does not appear on the taskbar, while it does appear in gnome and kde's
taskbars.

The more serious "bug": SIM is a multi-IM client. It works similar to GAIM,
using one window for contacts and one for messages. In the messages window, you
have a tab for each contact you are in conversation with. Whenever you switch
tabs, SIM changes the window title, according to the name of the contact, and
the window icon, according to the user's protocol and status. The problem is,
the taskbar does not update the window icon accordingly (meaning you can end up
with an offline icon for an online contact, an ICQ icon for an MSN contact etc.).

This bug exists with and without enabling KDE support in the session manager.
The icons switched fine in xfce4.

I hope I was understood,
Thanks in advance.
