[SOLVED] Putting mouse cursor on system tray = freeze for 1~3 sec

Hello guys, I got 2 problems with setting up my graphical package or something.
1. I've installed "Arch 64bit + Openbox Stand alone + Catalyst" on my desktop.
When I put my mouse cursor on the system tray, whole system freezes for 1~3 seconds.
2. When I open "Thunar", randomly icons and fonts are blurry. Sometimes it opens clearly but sometimes not.
There is no problem at all when I install "ArchBang 64-bit". This seems to be that I missed to install some specific package.
Any idea?

This is a strange problem, and probably something stupid I've done. If I move my mouse to the lower right hand side of the desktop
(bottom panel or system tray it freezes for a second or so).
This problem is repeatable on Xfce4.8 and also E17 desktop.
I have a microsoft optical mouse, so its not (mechanical mouse ball). More specifically I'm running at 1280x1024 res and the area
where the mouse pointer sticks is about 4cm from the right hand screen edge and 1cm down.
I am using an Ati Radeon HD4770 card with the proprietry fglrx driver Catalyst 11.5 and graphics acceleration is fine.
My /etc/X11/xorg.conf below:
Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "aticonfig Layout"
Screen 0 "aticonfig-Screen[0]-0" 0 0
EndSection
Section "Module"
EndSection
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "aticonfig-Monitor[0]-0"
Option    "VendorName" "ATI Proprietary Driver"
Option    "ModelName" "Generic Autodetecting Monitor"
Option    "DPMS" "true"
EndSection
Section "Device"
Identifier "aticonfig-Device[0]-0"
Driver "fglrx"
BusID "PCI:1:0:0"
EndSection
Section "Screen"

Device "aticonfig-Device[0]-0"
Monitor "aticonfig-Monitor[0]-0"
DefaultDepth 24
SubSection "Display"
Viewport 0 0
Depth 24
EndSubSection
EndSection
Being lazy I actually used this xorg.conf from PCLinux but I dont have the same mouse probelem on E17 or Xfce in PClinux.
When the freeze occurs I cannot use keyboard, then about a second later, I have control again. The system works normally and no
errors are wrote to /var/log/messages.
Only thing I can find in /var/log/Xorg.0.log is a warning:
[ 3651.919] Warning: LookupWindow()/SecurityLookupWindow() are deprecated. Please convert your driver/module to use dixLookupWindow().
Before using fglrx I was using the radeon driver. This is probably something stupid on my part, I am installing a new hard drive shortly so will
be re-installing.
The problem is as if some application is stealing the mouse focus, but I cannot understand why it is happening to that specific area on the screen.
Thanks in advance for any insight.

Please help: Mouse cursor on MBP repeatedly freezing for a few seconds

Hi all
I bought a MBP last week, and today I started experiencing problems with the mouse cursor. No matter whether I'm using the trackpad or an external mouse (I've tried using both a wired Mighty Mouse and a wireless Logitech), when I'm moving the cursor it keeps freezing for a few seconds (perhaps less than a second), and then I "regain" control of it, only for it to freeze again after a short while.
The only thing that I can think of that might have something to do with this is that I replaced the 2GB of Apple RAM with 4GB of OWC RAM a couple of days ago. Can this be the reason?
Please help me, as this problem renders the computer impossible to use:(
Thanks in advance
Daniel
PS: I'm running Mac OS 10.5.1 and I've got the Keyboard Freeze Update Installed.

Hi.
I have a similar problem, however I realized it is somehow related to weather the airport is on. If I turn it off, there are no freezes. It is weird, and I'm going to go with it to Apple.

Disabling Right Click Menus for Network Magic's System Tray Icons for Standard and Guest Accounts

OK, so I want to know how to disable the right click menus for Network Magic's system tray icons only for Vista's standard and Guest accounts? I don't want other users signed in as a Standard account or guest account having the ability to disable the system tray icons for network magic.

Hi, currently it's not possible to disable NM from being accessed by a Limited user account, but that is a good idea.
My Cisco Network Magic Configuration:
Router: D-Link WBR-2310 A1 FW:1.04, connected to Comcast High Speed Internet
Desktop, iMac: NM is on the Windows Partition, using Boot camp to access Windows, Windows 7 Pro 32-bit RTM, Broadcom Wireless N Card, McAfee Personal Firewall 2009,
Mac Partition of the iMac is using Mac OS X 10.6.1 Snow Leopard
Laptop: Windows XP Pro SP3, Intel PRO/Wireless 2200BG, McAfee Personal Firewall 2008
Please note that though I am a beta tester for Network Magic, I am not a employee of Linksys/Cisco and am volunteering my time here to help other NM users.

[Solved] Change mouse cursor in Awesome.

I can't change the mouse cursor in Awesome. I added "Xcursor.theme: aero-drop" in my .Xdefaults and "xrdb ~/.Xdefaults" in .xinitrc, but the cursor is still the default black one. I searched everywhere and I couldn't find how to change it. Can you give me a hand? Thanks.

It looks like the package in aur is messed up, It isn't extracting the themes and these are dead links to the tar.gz's.
navi>> sudo pacman -Ql xcursor-aero <<~
xcursor-aero /usr/
xcursor-aero /usr/share/
xcursor-aero /usr/share/icons/
xcursor-aero /usr/share/icons/aero-drop.tar.gz

xcursor-aero /usr/share/icons/aero-large-drop.tar.gz
xcursor-aero /usr/share/icons/aero-large.tar.gz
xcursor-aero /usr/share/icons/aero.tar.gz
you could manually extract the aero-drop.tar.gz into your ~/.icons folder and it should work.

[SOLVED] IceWM: "notification area" / taskbar / system tray

Hello!
I've recently moved from Gnome to IceWM. It all works nicely but there's a problem. In Gnome (and KDE and fluxbox and pypanel and ...) there was a "notification area" / taskbar / system tray where you could see "minimized to tray" programs, such as: Wicd, Deluge, Transmission, Emesene, etc... But in IceWM that doesn't exist. Well this is a pain in the *ss. I mean, I open deluge, minimize it and now I can't open its main window again.
Can some IceWM user help me?
Thanks, acmps

It should be all there in a default IceWM setup, esp. does IceWM hava a built-in system tray.
Mostly it depends on how you start IceWM. You need to execute icewm-session in your ~/.xinitrc, as e.g.
exec icewm-session
Or if you want to start IceWM manually, use
xinit /usr/bin/icewm-session
There should be a ~/.icewm folder. If not, create one and copy /usr/share/icewm/{keys,menu,preferences,toolbar,winoptions} there. These are well commented setup files which you can change to your needs with any text editor.
Thanks! I was used to start IceWM with "exec icewm" in xinitrc, but it seems like it's icewm-session. About the .icewm folder, I already have it. I'm going to try and start IceWM with icewm-session right away.
EDIT: It seems like I don't need to start icewm-session to get the tray, just icewm and icewmtray. Thanks!

Mouse cursor disappears sometimes on Firefox for Mac

Sometimes, only when Firefox is open, the mouse cursor disappears. I can still click, but the cursor is invisible.

Does the mouse pointer only disappear when the pointer is in a Firefox window (user interface or browser part or both) or is it gone outside Firefox as well?

Trackpad Sometimes Freezes for 5-10 sec

Good Morning. My question:
Macbook Air 2012 13 inch core i5 stock model. Sometimes, unsystematicaly, usualy during internet surfing with safari i have a strange bug. My cursor stopps and not responding to my actions, meanwhile whole system is ok-music is playing, istat activity is changing. 10 seconds later it unfreezes. But this happens ofcource during important conversation. I saw a lot of threads about this, but didn't find any solution. Please help me! machine is new 1 month old.
Reset SMC, PRAm-done, repair permission-done, reinstall OS x -twice.
I know it is a bug in os. I had MBP late 2011 15" and after 10.8.2 update this bug appeared.
Macbook Air doesn't support Lion (10.7) anymore-it drives me insane. I am very angry. Any ideas?
sorry my english-i am russian)

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It won’t solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Third-party system modifications are a common cause of usability problems. By a “system modification,” I mean software that affects the operation of other software — potentially for the worse. The following procedure will help identify which such modifications you've installed. Don’t be alarmed by the complexity of these instructions — they’re easy to carry out and won’t change anything on your Mac.
These steps are to be taken while booted in “normal” mode, not in safe mode. If you’re now running in safe mode, reboot as usual before continuing.
Below are instructions to enter some UNIX shell commands. The commands are harmless, but they must be entered exactly as given in order to work. If you have doubts about the safety of the procedure suggested here, search this site for other discussions in which it’s been followed without any report of ill effects.
Some of the commands will line-wrap or scroll in your browser, but each one is really just a single line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, and you can then copy it. The headings “Step 1” and so on are not part of the commands.
Note: If you have more than one user account, Step 2 must be taken as an administrator. Ordinarily that would be the user created automatically when you booted the system for the first time. The other steps should be taken as the user who has the problem, if different. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this paragraph doesn’t apply.
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
When you launch Terminal, a text window will open with a line already in it, ending either in a dollar sign (“$”) or a percent sign (“%”). If you get the percent sign, enter “sh” and press return. You should then get a new line ending in a dollar sign.
Step 1
Triple-click the line of text below on this page to select it:
kextstat -kl | awk '!/com\.apple/{printf "%s %s\n", $6, $7}' | open -f -a TextEdit
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Then click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste (command-V). A TextEdit window will open with the output of the command. If the command produced no output, the window will be empty. Post the contents of the TextEdit window (not the Terminal window), if any — the text, please, not a screenshot. You can then close the TextEdit window. The title of the window doesn't matter, and you don't need to post that. No typing is involved in this step.
Step 2
Repeat with this line:
{ sudo launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.(apple|openssh|vix)|org\.(amav|apac|cups|isc|ntp|postf|x)/{print $3}'; sudo defaults read com.apple.loginwindow LoginHook 2> /dev/null; } | open -f -a TextEdit
This time you'll be prompted for your login password, which you do have to type. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. Type it carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. Heed that warning, but don't post it. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
Note: If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before taking this step. If that’s not possible, skip to the next step.
Step 3
launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.apple|org\.(x|openbsd)/{print $3}' | open -f -a TextEdit
Step 4
ls -1A /e*/{la,mach}* {,/}L*/{Ad,Compon,Ex,Fram,In,Keyb,La,Mail/Bu,P*P,Priv,Qu,Scripti,Servi,Spo,Sta}* L*/Fonts .la* 2> /dev/null | open -f -a TextEdit
Important: If you formerly synchronized with a MobileMe account, your me.com email address may appear in the output of the above command. If so, anonymize it before posting.
Step 5
osascript -e 'tell application "System Events" to get name of every login item' | open -f -a TextEdit
Remember, steps 1-5 are all copy-and-paste — no typing, except your password. Also remember to post the output.
You can then quit Terminal.

When useing Adobe Flash in for example youtube. The player will get more and more delays when using the player tools untill firefox freezes for about 10 sec.

After freezing the player's delay will be reset to 0. I can replicate this "crash" by just moving my mouse on the youtube progress bar and see the delay building up. This only happens when firefox is my main window.

ITunes freezes for 60-120 secs when connecting iPod

This is weird. I have iTunes 7.6.1 and OS X 10.5.2.
Whenever I connect an iPod (my wife and I have three between us), iTunes freezes with the spinning beachball for anywhere from 60 to 120 seconds, sometimes longer. At times, when I try to drag a podcast or something over to an iPod, it won't "take"--it's not on the iPod in any of the menus. If I try to do a sync of all podcasts, for example, it freezes completely and even trying to force quit won't do anything.
I've deleted the plist files, but no luck. Any ideas?

It sounds like a hardware problem is messing with iTunes communicating with the iPod. I'd suggest the easy stuff first. Switch USB ports, switch USB cables, reset your iPod. If you are connecting via a USB hub try connecting directly to a USB port on the computer. If the iPod is still in warranty you can take it to the Apple Store or call Apple Care.

FIREFOX freezes for 5 - 15 sec. in random intervals. When doing so the display turns grey (no color at all).

Freeze up occurs in FIREFOX only, all other programs are working well without this glitch.

How to avoid orphaned system tray icon?

I know how to create a system tray icon for my application using InstallSysTrayIcon().
I also know how to remove it before the program terminates (calling RemoveSysTrayIcon()).
But the program closes in an expected way, or through the Task Manager, for example, the icon isn't deleted, and the user could think that the application is still running. Moreover, when you re-launch the application, a second icon is shown.
The Windows OS removes the orphaned icon when the mouse hovers over the tray.
It seems that this is an OS issue, and I did some web searches: I found this describing a way to avoid this behaviour in a C# application, but I haven't been able to port this solution to a CVI application.
Is there a way to do this with CVI 2009?

Hi Luca!
Anyway if you're worried about program crashes your only option...
Actually what I'm worried about is a little bit more complicated: my CVI application could be remotely closed by other applications running on the same or other PCs on the LAN. I should avoid the icon is left on the system tray while the application has been closed, giving a wrong information to the user...
I've been using the task manager only to "simulate" a force close made by a different application.
And sure, I must increase the error handling as much as I can to avoid application crash

System Tray application

I am using the Java 6 feature for creating System Tray capable applications.
I have used the SystemTray.java example from Sun and this works fine.
What I need to know is how I hide the application in the Task Bar. The user would then need to click the System Tray icon, for the application, to bring the application back up again.
I look forward to someones help.

Here's what would you do in your application:
to make it disappear on minimize:
          applicationFrame.addWindowListener (new WindowAdapter () {
               public void windowIconified (WindowEvent e) {
                    setVisible (false);
          });and a mouse listener to your TrayIcon to show it again on left click:
               trayIcon.addMouseListener (new MouseAdapter () {
                    public void mouseClicked (MouseEvent e) {
                         if (e.getButton () == e.BUTTON1)
                              applicationFrame.setVisible (true);
               });And I'd suggest you to take a look here about window listeners

Bootcamp Control Panel Gone (Windows 7 System Tray)

After I installed Windows 7 64-bit using bootcamp, I had a system tray icon for the Bootcamp Control Panel. It recently disappeared and I can't get it to appear back. Without the control panel running properly, it looks like the volume keys, backlit keyboard, etc don't work anymore in Windows.
I have tried the things I could find in these forums and through online searches but nothing has worked:
1) Uninstall and then reinstall Bootcamp drivers and controll panel program using the OSX install DVD. I installed "Boot Camp Update for MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid 2010) (Windows 64 bit)"
2) Using msconfig to confirm Bootcamp was in the start up program list (it was already in the list so I unchecked it, rebooted, then checked it again, an rebooted)
3) Running Bootcamp.exe in Windows Vista compatibility mode
4) Checking my registry for the entry being there correctly (it was)
5) Customising the "notification area icons" to make bootcamp have the "Show icon and notifications" behavior.
None of these things worked. For additional information, I see that Bootcamp.exe is in the Windows task manager process list so it seems to be running.
How anyone found a solution to get the control panel system tray working again?
Thank you!

Hi Flying High,
Thanks for the response. The little gray square for the Boot Camp Manager has shown up in the notification area before (accessible through the little arrow on the right side of the screen), but the problem is that it doesn't show up anymore.
I just tried uninstalling Boot Camp and all the drivers, and then reinstalling it again from the DVD and using the "Boot Camp Update for MacBook Pro (13-inch Mid 2010 (Windows 64 bit)"...
The little gray square for the Boot Camp Manager showed up after the first reboot and the function keys worked (like volume control), but when I rebooted again, the notification manager didn't show up and none of the function keys work anymore. So back to square one.
Has anyone had this problem with the Boot Camp Manager showing up in the notification ares only after the initial installation but not after reboots?
Thank you!
