I agree with you here. This fix is a must for anyone who uses systray-enabled apps. I personally use such programs daily, and I think the lack of this support is a *big* problem. > > But then I don't know what's involved here in getting this patch done in a > good > way, I'm just stating that I think that it's really important. > (this stuff has been missing for far too long anyway - and I've been > unsuccessfully submitting some systray patches some time ago, too) Well, its not exactly a picnic ;-) The original patch had some stack problems, which I believe I've fixed. Also, each desktop implements this standard differently, so a lot of weird disparities can occur. It works with some odd quirks in GNOME (sometimes icons won't dock, other times the Wine-Systray window shows up for no reason at all) I'm not sure why this is, but it has been suggested that this is a bug in their notification area applet, and I have to agree. The patch works great, as I've said previously, in XFce and IceWM. > > Some people would also say that it'd be a *really* lame 0.9 release > if Wine wasn't even able to properly dock a tiny icon within pre-existing > and properly working desktop mechanisms... Yeah, I'm one of them... I always thought that was lame. :)
