Hi all,
I've recently converted our application to run in linux. It's a big application and mostly 'it just works' and if not i've been able to tweak it. The only fly in the ointment that's left is the QSystemTrayIcon which works on some linux desktops and not others.
It works on:
KUbuntu and other KDE distros fine.
It half works on Ubuntu 13.04 unity ( it appears as an icon on the desktop instead but this at least makes the application functional )
It doesnt work on Mint 15 MATE or Cinammon, ubuntu 13.04 with Gnome...
Has anybody managed to make a tray icon appear with any of these distros? I'm using Qt5.1.1 on an x64 oracle VM to test all these systems...
Thanks in advance,
Richard.
Added after 1:
Just discovered that on ubuntu 13.04 with gnome if you click activities there's a blank icon next to the removable devices icon. This when clicked shows our context menu. So it would appear at least partially broken in this scenario? You'd expect it to appear in the task bar which is normally across the top of the screen or am I missing something, but i'd have found it if the icon actually existed?
Still no progress on the other installs as yet...
Thanks,
Rich
