Description Matthias Clasen 2008-08-29 21:07:10 UTC
A little keyboard and a plug/socket thing.

Really, more than one status icon is too much.

Comment 1 Peng Huang 2008-08-30 00:17:28 UTC
You mean two SCIM status icons in sys tray?
Did you start any gtk applications under root or other users privilege?

Comment 2 Matthias Clasen 2008-08-30 01:57:21 UTC
No.
There is one keyboard icon that lets me select a language.
And then there is an icon that "disconnects the IM" if I click it, whatever that means. 
The second one is new.

Comment 3 Peng Huang 2008-08-30 02:14:28 UTC
Please attach a snapshot for it. Thanks.

the two icons

Comment 5 Peng Huang 2008-08-30 03:09:39 UTC
Are you sure this icon is belong to SCIM? I have never saw this icon before.

Comment 6 Matthias Clasen 2008-08-30 03:24:06 UTC
Let me show you the context menu on the 'mystery icon'

context menu

Comment 8 Peng Huang 2008-08-30 03:54:48 UTC
Hi Jens & Tagoh, Do you know what is this icon for?

Comment 9 Akira TAGOH 2008-09-01 02:25:52 UTC
That is an icon for imsettings-applet, which is to provide a facility to manage the connection of IM temporarily without changing the real configuration on im-chooser.

Comment 10 Matthias Clasen 2008-09-05 14:34:53 UTC
Can we please either make that optional (add some way to get rid of the extra icon) or better, integrate it into one 'input method' status icon ?

Two separate statusicons is really too much.

Comment 11 Akira TAGOH 2008-09-08 11:23:41 UTC
Sure. integrating IM icons sounds ideal though, I have no idea and no time to do that for Fedora 10 maybe. I'll work to hide an icon from the preference if one likes. but I would enable the icon by default to not miss the feature to manage the connection of IM and to change IM from the applet temporarily.

requested by Jens Petersen (#27995)

Comment 13 Akira TAGOH 2008-09-11 10:29:23 UTC
Fixed in svn - added a checkbox in the preference dialog to show/hide the status icon.

Comment 14 Matthias Clasen 2008-09-12 06:23:13 UTC
Whats the default for that preference ?

And can we also have a context menu item on the icon, for the same preference ?

Comment 15 Akira TAGOH 2008-09-12 10:07:06 UTC

> Whats the default for that preference ?

the default is "show the status icon". currently changing the value on gconf directly is the way to show the status icon so far if it's hidden. perhaps im-chooser could has a check button for that though.

You mean to turn off the status icon without opening the preference dialog quickly?

I'd much rather see work being done on the 'right' solution: integrate the 'connect/disconnect' functionality in the main scim statusicon. 

If we can't have that for F10, I'd prefer to have the default be 'off', with a checkbox in im-chooser to turn it on.

Comment 17 Akira TAGOH 2008-09-15 03:41:37 UTC
Ok, changed gconf schema and im-chooser in svn, behaves so.

I think Matthias meant something like: Right click -> "Hide applet".

I think it would be ok in general to hide the applet by default once IM has been activated from it.

Comment 19 Akira TAGOH 2008-09-19 05:18:41 UTC
Fixed in imsettings-0.104.0-1.fc10 and im-chooser-1.2.3-1.fc10. the status icon is hidden by default and im-chooser has an option to show it up again.

I like an Jens' idea that the icon is hidden when IM is connected and displayed when IM is disconnected btw.

Comment 20 Akira TAGOH 2008-09-25 03:44:32 UTC
Doh. missed .schemas file in 0.104.0. the real fix will be in next release.

Comment 21 Akira TAGOH 2008-09-25 07:33:50 UTC
Fixed in imsettings-0.104.1-1.fc10.

Comment 22 Matthias Clasen 2008-10-07 16:33:36 UTC
Closing to get this off the bug lists.
