RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Carlos Henrique Castilho 2012-11-15 19:17:41 UTC 
Description of problem:
Remove IBus icon from the system tray, when rebooting the machine the icon will be shown again.

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Right click on IBus > Preferences;
2.Uncheck 'Show icon on system tray' checkbox;
3.Restart system;
4. Login to the system and check that the icon is in the taskbar and the 'Show icon on system tray' checkbox is uncheck.
  
Actual results:
Unchecking 'Show icon on system tray' checkbox, the icon will be removed from the system tray, although when rebooting the machine the icon shows up again and the checkbox still unchecked.

To remove the icon again is needed to check and then uncheck the checkbox, but every reboot this will still happens.

Expected results:
When unchecking the checkbox the icon should be removed even if you reboot the system.

Additional info:
None.

I cannot reproduce your problem.
Is your show_icon_on_systray value false?

% gconftool-2 --get /desktop/ibus/panel/show_icon_on_tray
false

If you modify XIM_ARGS="--xim --verbose" in $HOME/.xinputrc or /etc/X11/xinit/xinput.d/ibus.conf , you might see any errors in $HOME/.imsettings.log .

__config_load_show_icon_on_systray() in /usr/share/ibus/ui/gtk/panel.py get the gconf value.


You can run the ibus gtk panel by manual after ibus-daemon runs.
% ps -ef | grep ibus
user $PID python /usr/share/ibus/ui/gtk/main.py
% kill $PID
% env IBUS_PREFIX=/usr python /usr/share/ibus/ui/gtk/main.py

On my system...
$ gconftool-2 --get /desktop/ibus/panel/show_icon_on_tray
No value set for `/desktop/ibus/panel/show_icon_on_tray'

Sorry, it was my typo.

% gconftool-2 --get /desktop/ibus/panel/show_icon_on_systray
false

Any updates?
Comment 6 Carlos Henrique Castilho 2012-12-11 17:48:16 UTC 
The ibus icon was at my systray and "Show icon on system tray" unchecked, the value was true.
# gconftool-2 --get /desktop/ibus/panel/show_icon_on_systray
true

It seems now that this issue is very random, when I logout it seem to be fixed.
When enabled ibus, value is true and when disabled, value is false.
Also it shows false enabling and disabling ibus at some point.

I cannot reproduce your problem.

Are you able to see your problem with a new user account instead of the current user account?

When you uncheck the "Show icon on system tray" button, do you see the following dbus messages?

# cat /home/my_account/.config/ibus/bus/19c906c3e175aa938fa13dcf00000059-unix-0
