 |
|
Hi folks.
I managed to solve almost all pesky problems after update to KDE/Plasma 6. But some still remain.
I use claws-mail for managing my e-mails for over a decade and found, that previously the `kde-plasma/xembed-sni-proxy` was responsible for adding GTK-based apps icons to system tray. But it seems that it is masked for removal soon:
| Code: |
!!! All ebuilds that could satisfy "xembed-sni-proxy" have been masked.
!!! One of the following masked packages is required to complete your request:
- kde-plasma/xembed-sni-proxy-5.27.11::gentoo (masked by: package.mask)
/usr/portage/profiles/package.mask:
# Andreas Sturmlechner <asturm@gentoo.org> (2024-09-07)
# These packages are EOL in Plasma 6.
# Removal on 2024-10-07.
|
On my old laptop with 12" screen having just one extra window in task bar is no way and makes claws-mail extremely annoying. Before asking, I've checked what up-to-date alternatives I have and it came out, that only Thunderbird is available in portage currently, but this is no-way as it is 500Mb+ browser based monster that I don't want to see in my system just to read humble e-mail once a day.
So, I'm back with claws-mail back again.
Anyone knows solution on getting tray icon back?
Thank you! |

I have this:
| Code: |
emerge plasma-workspace -pv
These are the packages that would be merged, in order:
Calculating dependencies... done!
Dependency resolution took 4.41 s (backtrack: 0/20).
[ebuild R ] kde-plasma/plasma-workspace-6.1.4-r1:6::gentoo USE="calendar fontconfig policykit wallpaper-metadata -appstream -debug -geolocation -gps -handbook -screencast -semantic-desktop -systemd -telemetry -test" 0 KiB
Total: 1 package (1 reinstall), Size of downloads: 0 KiB

And claws-mail with settings that should make tray icon visible (old setting that used to work on KDE/Plasma 6) and no tray icon with claws-mail running.
Am I missing something? |

| Is it possible that the tray icon is not visible in your (now default) Plasma Wayland session, but visible in an X11 session? |

Just checked X11 session and yes, this is exactly what is happening. |

| Please check if installing dev-libs/libayatana-appindicator makes a difference for your Plasma Wayland session. |

I've emerged dev-libs/libayatana-appindicator with gtk3 use flag enabled as required, then restarted session, restarted claws-mail just for sure and nothing changed - the tray icon is missing. |

Version 4.3.0 rolled in, still no tray icon in Wayland session. Should I enable libnotify maybe? |
