Description of problem: Applications started on the second screen (dual-head view) don't add icons to notification area. Tested with kydpdict (using QT) (http://members.elysium.pl/ytm/html/kydpdict.html#english, http://timeoff.wsisiz.edu.pl/rpms.html#kydpdict) and Mozilla New Mail Icon (http://moztraybiff.mozdev.org/), but I believe it's common problem. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gnome-panel-2.16.1-3.fc6 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open any application which uses tray (notification area) on the second screen Actual results: Icon isn't shown in a notification area Expected results: Icon in a notification area (like when application ran on the primary screen. Additional info: When you work on loptop, bigger external monitor is the secondary screen and you start then most applications lack of icons can be unpleasant.
Happens also with Gaim (GTK+) and on Debian, so this is probably a general Gnome/Notification area bug. Reported in Gnome Bugzilla http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=388906
External Bugzilla References added (among other things to check if it works - I have never used it before).
Hi, We no longer support Fedora Core 6 and I am currently trying to get my open bug count down to a more manageable state. I'm going to close this bug as WONTFIX. If this issue is still a concern for you, would you mind trying to reproduce on a supported version of Fedora and reopening? (this is a mass message)
This bug depends on http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=346162 . It is still unresolved in current Gnome release, so it should (and probably would) occur in Fedora 8 (but I don't have dual view system right now to confirm it for sure). I don't know what is the policy in Fedora if problem is unresolved upstream.
