System Tray is gone in Gnome/Slackware...
 

Hey there, i guess i deleted the panel that has my system tray and so i added my own customized panel, and i can't seem to add the item system tray to my customm panel... could anyone tell me the command to use for the system tray or a way to get my system tray back? thanks, help greatly appreciated, btw im using slackware 10.1 with dropline Gnome (latest release/versions)

Can you explain to me what a system tray is please? If I know what it is then I can help.

Thanks

Right click on the panel > Add to panel > Notification area

I had this problem in SuSE. I went to move my system tray and it disappeared. All I had to do was right click the panel, select "Add to Panel" -> Applet -> System Tray... and there it was!

By the way... I was also in KDE, not sure what the equivalent is in gnome.

The latest version of Dropline GNOME is only supported in Slackware 10.2 it MAY work with earlier versions, but there is no guarantee. Same goes for "current".

Having said that, are you talking about the area that displays the time and date, or running programs? If it is the latter just click on the bar and select "Add to Panel" and then "Notification Area".

HTH,
