Bug Description

Xchat-gnome has a systray plugin, which allows you to hide xchat-gnome in the system tray. It's currently broken though, when hiding xchat-gnome, it is impossible to bring it back from the tray.

Reproducing is easy:
 * Start xchat-gnome (with the systray plugin enabled).
 * Click on the system tray icon.
 * No way to get it back...

Also:

true

/apps/xchat/plugins/notification/persistant is deprecated. It's replaced by the "level" key.

With the level set to 3, the tray icon should be displayed only for important messages (query, nick citation or word highlighting).
So it should not be displayed automatically at startup. Does it?

Furthermore, clicking on the tray icon shoud hide x-g only when your level is set to 0.
Are you sure you're using the notification plugin from the Dapper package (0.11)?
Check with gconftool-2 -g /apps/xchat/plugins/loaded.

Hi, I have the following:

ruben@tokyo:~ $ gconftool-2 -g /apps/xchat/plugins/loaded
[/usr/lib/xchat-gnome/plugins/netmonitor.so,/usr/lib/xchat-gnome/plugins/autoaway.so,/usr/lib/xchat-gnome/plugins/notifyosd.so,/opt/gnome/xchat-gnome//lib/xchat-gnome/plugins/notification.so]

/opt/gnome/xchat-gnome/ has been deleted a long time ago though.

Unsetting all notification plugin related keys does seem to fix the issue.

I don't understand why, with the notification level sets to 3,
- the tray icon is automatically displayed at startup
- x-g disappear when you click on it.

Could you try with a fresh user please?

All looks normal with a fresh user and when I completely nuke all xchat related configs. Seems like this was some strange issue with stray config data.

This bug can be closed.
