Open claws-mail from Gnome Shell 3. Alternative: Open Terminal and type "claws-mail". No prompt is returned and claws-mail is running, but not immediately visible Actual results: No claws-mail window appears on starting claws-mail Expected results: claws-mail should come up with its main window Additional info:
Confirmed. I had mentioned that in one of the several GNOME 3 related threads. It happened already with 3.7.8 (it's not new since 3.7.9-0.1.20110329.fc15).

Created attachment 531121 [details] latest work-around from 3.7.10cvs55 This is a new work-around from Claws Mail 3.7.10cvs55. Seems to work. Also makes the Tray Icon "hide at start" feature work again. No side-effects noticed so far.
