 Posted: Tue Sep 17, 2024 11:33 am Post subject: Plasma 6 vs claws-mail tray icon |
 |
|
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? |

I just wanted to chime in and say, "Me too!" I'm with you cz0. I've got all the above suggested packages installed but still no joy. Version 4.3.0 got my hopes up, all in vain.
I also have blueman (soon to go), gajim and hp-systray icons in the system tray, all work fine. And they all seem to have little python programs that make them work, claws-mail does not. But then I also have hexchat system tray icon working, and it also doesn't employ a python program.
This is the best implementation of wayland I've seen, pretty much perfect except for that 1 thing, I love claws-mail, but thinking about giving kmail a try because of it. Fingers crossed. Onward and upward!

| Are you both using kde-plasma/plasma-meta with USE=gtk enabled? |

I don't install *-meta since since kde-4 maybe - it brings tons of useless garbage.
But this is what portage will bring if I will to install meta:

BTW: gtk and gtk3 useflags are both not enabled for the world. But if I enable gtk globally, portage tries to build another ton of random stuff including ruby (WTF?), but packages that are already in system and should be rebuild because of gtk been enabled are:

If you don't use plasma-meta, I can't really support you. Any runtime bugs or missing features are yours to debug. It does not contain garbage, it contains *only* the Plasma desktop as KDE have intended it, and is configurable where it makes sense and we know it will not break your system. It does not ship with any applications, since desktop (Plasma) and applications (Gear) and libraries (Frameworks) were split from another after KDE SC 4.
That said, I have plasma-meta installed, albeit with USE="-gtk", and I don't see a systray icon either. Since claws-mail is GTK-based, you may want to try out the integration plasma-meta[gtk] provides. That does not mean you have to enable gtk globally ... |
