From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8.1.10) Gecko/20071213 Fedora/2.0.0.10-3.fc8 Firefox/2.0.0.10 Description of problem: (1) If you build Qt 4.3.3 and compile and run the examples/desktop/systray application it says it cannot detect the system tray. (2) I've also built a system tray app of my own and that doesn't work either. My app worked fine with Fedora Core 6/KDE 3.5.2. I wrote to Trolltech but they can run both fine on KDE 3.5.8, so I don't know if it is a Fedora or a KDE bug, so I thought I'd start with you guys. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kdebase-3.5.8-9.fc8 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Build Qt 4.3.3. (I built from the tarball, guess you could just install the package) 2. Build and run examples/desktop/systray 3. If you get a Message box pop up saying the system tray isn't detected you're done Actual Results: Got the system tray isn't detected message box Expected Results: the app should have appeared in the system tray; no message box should have appeared Additional info:
Maybe this is related to the opposite problem we're having on F9 (KDE 3 apps and KDE 4 systray, where they show up in some weird window somewhere on the screen instead of using the Plasma systray)?
worksforme on my rawhide box. To test yourself (anywhere), install qt4-doc and execute `rpm --eval %{_qt4_examples}`/desktop/systray/systray
Works for me too: kdebase-3.5.8-9.fc8 qt4-4.3.3-1.fc8
I did what Rex said (on Fedora 8, KDE spin): Installed: qt4-doc.i386 0:4.3.3-1.fc8 Dependency Installed: qt4.i386 0:4.3.3-1.fc8 qt4-x11.i386 0:4.3.3-1.fc8 Complete! [root@marmaduke mark]# exit exit : `rpm --eval %{_qt4_examples}`/desktop/systray/systray and I just got the message box again (see the ironic attachment).
Created attachment 292018 [details] shows the message box plus a portion of the screen that belies it
If we can't reproduce the problem, it's going to be hard to fix. Is this a one user on one box? I ask, because if you could reproduce this as another user (preferably on a different install), then we'd have something. Else, it's more likely something specifically wrong with *this* user on *this* box.
For example, have you added anything custom to your environment, ie, to .bash_login, .bashrc?
I ran the live CD, installed qt4-doc & tried again. Everything worked fine. So I went back to my own system. I had kept all my old settings, but it seems that kickerrc is different in KDE 3.5.2 and 3.5.8---I used the live CD's version and then everything worked fine. So my bug. Sorry!
Let's close this then.
