XChat/Gnome: No tray icon when launched at startup

Hi Archers,
I added XChat to the Gnome startup application list. When Gnome starts, XChat is started too, but it doesn't appear in the notification area.
When I start it during a Gnome session, it does appear in it.
Did I miss something? Am I the only one to experience that issue?
Thanks for your help.

Since Gnome 2.30, it is finally possible to enter a composite command as a startup application command.
However, the workaround still doesn't work. By entering this command, XChat isn't started at all.

System Tray icon missing sometimes

I have an HP printer 4100 series, Gateway computer, Vista.
I've had two times when I booted up and the HP Printer system tray icon was not in the system tray.
I will look at the Notification Area setup and one of the icons listed (under Past Items) is "Terminating Digital Imaging Monitor."
However, I was still able to print normally. If I reboot, the system tray icon will return.
I've had the same printer/setup for over a year. This never happened till today. Normally the system tray icon will appear at startup.
It may be one of Vista's quirks - I sometimes notice inconstent things about the system tray icons.
Anyone know why this might happen?

I am on the same os and having the same issue. I tried reloading java and found it did not help.
Please advise.

Desktop Manager Updated to ver. 5.0 - why is Device Manager tray icon "exit" greyed out?

Just updated to Desktop Manager 5.0
Blackberry Device Manager 4.7.1.11
BBDevMgr 4.1.0.11
Rim USB Driver 4.1.0.4
Rim USB Serial Driver 2.2.0.3
Before with previous version Device Manager tray icon would go away after disconnecting BB.
Now Device Manager tray icon does not go away after disconnecting BB and when right-clicking on it "exit" is greyed out - what's up with that? Is this by design? Why can't I get rid of the tray icon when disconnected?

Here's something bizarre. I have also been syncing contacts, calendars and tasks for a long time with my Storm. After downloading the Desktop 7.0 I also saw the Calendar as not available. I don't particularly remember seeing Memo as an option but I also selected it this time around as I was going through the old reload the os, restore, etc. Anyway I did a test adding an appointment to my Outlook calendar then ran the sync for contacts, tasks and memos and amazingly it shows on my Storm's calendar. Not sure how comfortable I am in depending on this but you might try and place an appointment on Outlook's calendar, run the sync and see if it shows up on your cell's calendar. Strange but it is working for me.

AIR System Tray Icon - does it support notifications?

I want to add a system tray icon when my application loads and have balloon notifications appear when something happens, i.e. the application is minimized and a new message has been received. Does AIR support this functionality?

Microsoft Word launches on startup

Microsoft Word auto-launches each time the computer is turned on. I'm an Apple rookie: is this a feature or a bug? Thanks.

You probably have "Open at login" checked in the application icon in the dock or Word is in your startup items. Right click on Word's dock icon when launched and click "Open at login" off. Word should not launch again.

System Tray Icon Not Displaying - Depending on Launch Style

Good Morning-
I'm using the java.awt.SystemTray and TrayIcon classes from 1.6 to create a system tray that acts essentially as a temperature monitor. It's very little code. When I test it from Eclipse, it works great. When I double-click the .jar on my workstation, it works great. When I launch it with java -jar temp.jar, it works great. When I launch it with javaw -jar temp.jar, I get no tray icon, but javaw sits in memory doing something.
When my users launch it with a .vbs that calls java -jar temp.jar and hides the resulting terminal window, they get no tray icon. When they call java -jar temp.jar, they get the tray icon... and the console window. When they call javaw -jar temp.jar, they get no tray icon. Any of these practices yields a java process sitting in memory.
When my users double-click the .jar file, they're asked to chose what to open it with. If they chose Java's executable, it says it doesn't know what to do (it isn't called with -jar). Windows doesn't see their jar files as executables like on mine.
So I have two issues. The result is the system tray icon won't display on users' computers without a window to accompany it. Any idea why? Is it potentially a bug?
Some code:
public class SysTrayController {
     // The actual icon that will be updated
     private TrayIcon          icon;
     // The last-set temperature
     private int                    temp;
     // The box that may or may not appear
     private AlertBox          box;
     // No Data received (yet?)
     public final static int NO_DATA = 0;
     // High temperature threshold. TODO: Make this user-configurable.
     private final static int     HIGH_TEMP = 80;
     // ... you guess
     private final static String DEFAULT_ICON = "icons/default.png";
      * Initiate everything. Grab the system tray, plop the icon in it, and
      * get the icon all set up and ready to go with the default image.
     public SysTrayController() {
          box = new AlertBox();
          SystemTray tray = SystemTray.getSystemTray();
          Image image = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getImage(getClass().getResource(DEFAULT_ICON));
          PopupMenu popup = new PopupMenu();
          MenuItem exit = new MenuItem("Exit");
          exit.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
               public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
                    System.exit(0);
          popup.add(exit);
          icon = new TrayIcon(image, "Temperature Monitor", popup);
          // On double-click, display the alert box
          icon.addMouseListener(new MouseAdapter() {
               public void mouseClicked(MouseEvent e) {
                    if (e.getClickCount() >= 2) {
                         box.setVisible(true);
          try {
               tray.add(icon);
          } catch (AWTException e) {
               System.out.println(e);
      * Set the temperature.
      * Call setIcon() to set the icon to the right number, update the alert
      * box, and if it's time to, display the alert box.
     public void setTemp(int temp) {
          if (this.temp != temp) {
               this.temp = temp;
               setIcon(temp);
               icon.setToolTip(temp + " degrees");
               box.setAlertMessage("Temperature in the Server Room is at " + temp + " degrees!");
               box.setIcon(icon.getImage());
               if (temp > HIGH_TEMP) {
                    box.setVisible(true);
                    icon.displayMessage("Alert", "Temperature in the server room is at " + temp + " degrees!", TrayIcon.MessageType.WARNING);
               } else if (temp != NO_DATA){
                    box.setVisible(false);
      * Figure out which icon to set the tray icon to, scale it down, and
      * set it.
     public void setIcon(int number) {
          Image image = null;
          if (number == NO_DATA) {
               image = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getImage(getClass().getResource(DEFAULT_ICON));
          } else if (number >= 60 && number < 100 ) {
               String iconString = "icons/temp";
               iconString += number;
               iconString += ".png";
               try {
                    image = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getImage(getClass().getResource(iconString));
               } catch (NullPointerException e) {
                    image = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getImage(getClass().getResource(DEFAULT_ICON));
          image = image.getScaledInstance(16, 16, Image.SCALE_SMOOTH);
          icon.setImage(image);
      * Give back the current temperature.
     public int getTemp() {
          return temp;
}The main() that calls it looks like this:
     public static void main(String[] args) {
          SysTrayController controller = new SysTrayController();
          Thermometer temp = new Thermometer(HOSTNAME);
          while (true) {
               controller.setTemp(temp.getTemp());
               try {
                    if (controller.getTemp() == SysTrayController.NO_DATA) {
                         Thread.sleep(1000);
                    } else {
                         Thread.sleep(SLEEPTIME);
               } catch (Exception e) {
                    System.out.println(e);
     }

From the code above, this line actually worked for me:
image = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getImage(getClass().getResource(iconString));Just place the image inside the source folder and change the iconString thing...
For example mine looked like this
image = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getImage(getClass().getResource("/icon.gif"));

Firefox launches and re-loads my tabs, but clicking on the tray icon doesn't display the window

I can see that Firefox is loaded and running (running Windows 7) - I can hear notices of emails arriving and see the miniature version of the active tab when my mouse hovers over the icon in the tray - but when I click on it it doesn't expand the window so that I can view it. I have tried closing and re-opening as well as restarting my computer. I'm hoping for a solution that preserves the open tabs I currently have. Thanks in advance for any and all help!

* Use Restore or Maximize in the right-click context menu of the Taskbar icon to set focus to the Firefox application if you do not see the Firefox window.
* Open the system menu of that Firefox window via Alt+Space and see if you can move and resize that window (use the keyboard cursor keys).
If that works then first close all other open Firefox windows and then close Firefox via "File > Exit/Quit" to save that setting.
If the above didn't help then see:

Your video card is underpowered for the task.

No color toolbar icons from standard launch, ok when launched from another app.

When launched from another app like google earth the toolbar icons are in color.
When launched normally the icons have no colors.
Currently Thunderbird 24.6.0

another experiment.
When you have the colour icons, Select Help menu > about (what version is this) when you have the black do the same and see if it is different versions. (pressing F10 will make them menu bar visible if it is not.)
Thunderbirds icons changes from living colour to black and white quite a few versions ago.
Reasons for color are;
* An old version
* An add-on by way of a Theme
* The running of Thunderbird in XP compatibility mode in Windows

Application minimized when launching from the JavaWebstart desktop icon

Hi All,
I created a desktop icon when I was prompted to thru JavaWebStart.
Now, whenever I launch my application by double-clicking on the icon, it launches with the window minimized.
I have to d-click on the windows taskbar to maximize it.
Is there a way to launch the application with the maximized window.
Maybe some property to be set in the JNLP file.
Please let me know if anyone knows about it
Thanks
Urvashi

O sure...I can do that if i am launching the application on a single monitor. And this does work if i have only 1 monitor. But in case of multi-monitors, this does not work.
Thats why I was looking for more like property to be set.

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
