|
I want to dock the LICQ icon under gnome 2.4, but it does not seem to work very well. I emerged gnome-swallow, but I just get:
Swallower Applet: Could not find a window named "LicqWharf" (ran program "licq")
(I also tried some other window names, but with the same result.)
Is anyone using licq with gnome?

| As licq is KDE based, and the KDE tray icon system is based on the freedesktop.org standard like gnome is, shouldn't it dock in the gnome system-tray by itself? |

Yeah, probaby.. but gnome has no system-tray, IIRC.. It is all either applets or something like gnome-swallow.
Or am I missing something?

Just enter "Window name to swallow: LicqWharf" *after* you've manually started LICQ! It works here:-)
The Gentoo gnome-swallow is version 1.1, while there is a 1.2 for some time now (which has the option "Reconfigure")...
One thing I miss though: Gnome-swallow should have the option "try again after 30 seconds", because after `startx`, the swallower-applet starts before licq itself it started, so I have to reconfigure it by myself (and that's the main reason I need version 1.2).
Too bad Gnome-swallow isn't in Gnome by default anymore, it's so small and so usefull!
I don't "feel ready" to make an ebuild by myself yet, so I'll just give my manual installation for version 1.2...
Of course, if someone feels like making an ebuild for it, that would be greatly appreciated! The code below could be smoother, but hey, it says "n00b" under my nickname!
Here it goes:
Download gnome-swallow-1.2.tar.gz from http://interreality.org/~tetron/technology/swallow/ :
| Code: | mkdir /tmp/gnome-swallow-1.2.tmp; cd /tmp/gnome-swallow-1.2.tmp
wget http://interreality.org/~tetron/technology/swallow/gnome-swallow-1.2.tar.gz |
Extract the file and install:
| Code: | tar -xvzf gnome-swallow-1.2.tar.gz
cd gnome-swallow-1.2
./configure
make
make install # as root of course |
Move the files to the right location:
| Code: | mv /usr/local/lib/bonobo/servers/GNOME_Swallow.server /usr/lib/bonobo/servers/
rmdir /usr/local/lib/bonobo/servers; rmdir /usr/local/lib/bonobo
rm /usr/lib/gnome-panel/gnome_swallow # if it exists already
rmdir /usr/lib/gnome-panel # if it exists already
mv /usr/local/lib/gnome-panel /usr/lib
rm /usr/local/share/doc/gnome-swallow/README # I don't want it on that location
rmdir /usr/local/share/doc/gnome-swallow
cd /tmp; rm -r /tmp/gnome-swallow-1.2.tmp |
