Summary: Steam tray icon doesn't appear if panel hidden in autohide mode Product: Wine Version: 0.9.60 Platform: PC-x86-64 OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: major Priority: P2 Component: winex11.drv AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: rmuncrief@comcast.net
This bug may be related to the now closed bug 12362, but I've been asked to file a new bug report for it. I am running Ubuntu Gutsy AMD64.
I've found that the Steam system tray icon doesn't appear correctly if the bottom panel is in autohide mode and hidden.
If the panel is completely hidden (by using gconf-editor and setting /apps/panel/default_setup/toplevels/bottom_panel/auto_hide_size to 0) A space is created for it in the system tray, but right or left clicking over it does nothing.
If the normal autohide setting of 6 is used then the leftmost icon in the system tray will be duplicated, but it will function as the Steam system tray icon. For example, my leftmost icon is Basket, so when I start Steam the Basket icon is duplicated, but it fully functions as the Steam icon would.
However, if you hold your cursor over the panel so it's visible when Steam starts then the tray icon appears and functions correctly. And of course if the panel isn't in autohide mode the tray icon also appears correctly. So it simply appears that if the panel is not fully visible when Steam starts, the Steam system tray icon is not loaded correctly.
