Missing taskbar items

Keithj · 06-25-2007, 02:31 PM

Since upgrading from FC5 to Fedora 7, most of the regular "background" icons that should be in the taskbar have disappeared. The clock, desktop selector, and kweather remain. The others - kmix, Skype, kopete, updates, etc have disappeared.

KSysGuard confirms they are all running, and on the ones that have a config option to display them in the taskbar, that option is turned on. They just don't appear.

Does anyone else have this problem, or know how to get the items to show?

FOUND IT!

Right-click on taskbar,
select Add Applet to Panel,
add System Tray Panel Applet

- and there are all the missing icons.

I could not find that option in fedora 7 are you sure about that?

I'm missing on boot up the kmix i have to start it up every time...

Yes, that works for Applets but not for starting applications.

To get KMix to start on boot-up (been there, spent hours researching how to do it), create a file called Mystarter (any name you like will do) and put it in ~/.kde/Autostart

The file consists of:

Quote:

#!/bin/sh
/usr/bin/kmix

You can start any number of apps with that - just stick an ampersand & on the end of each line but the last to tell it to keep going.

You can have a different one for each user, which I think is pretty nifty if more than one person uses your Linux box.

If you mean when the computer boots
put the command in

Code:

/etc/rc.local

If you mean when Gnome starts, look at

Code:

system=>preferences=>startup applications.

What do you want to do?

tailakh · 11-14-2009, 12:03 PM

first of all i would like to thank you for your replay.

i mean after the computer start up and the desktop icons appears ( i have a small script file that i need to run it after the computer starts completlly and the icons appears on the gnome desktop )

will run the script when Gnome starts.
I don't think you can run a script after gnome is loaded.
I can be wrong though
