No tray icons for QT applications if startup with DE login

No tray icons for QT applications if startup with DE login

Dear Mint users,

I have a strange behavior with QT based applications on Gnome's "Startup Applications" preferences. After Log-in to the system, any non QT based application like "Transmission". "Dropbox", "Google Chrome" stats and put it's icon on bottom notification panel, but QT applications like "Klipper" or "Syncwall" start processes but don't display tray icon. I thought that maybe any dependence process which emulates or renders KDE tray icons for Gnome 3 is not fully started before QT startup applicatios execute, so I made this simple script and put it in "Startup Applications":

Code: Select all
#!/bin/sh

sleep 20
klipper
sleep 5
syncwall
sleep 5

exit 0


Then I logout and login back and now both QT applications have icons on notification area and running procceses (also restarted full system to make sure, and it worked too). I'm wondering if someone else having same problem or if known bug already exists (please supply link) because I googlied and couldn't find any relevant about this problem.
I appreciate any help you can provide me with.

PS: using Mint 12 (x86) with kernel 3.2.2 and Gnome 3 version 3.2

Code: Select all
alex@alex-Studio-1537 ~ $ apt-cache show gnome-shell | grep Version
Version: 3.2.0-0ubuntu1
Version: 3.2.1-0ubuntu1.1
alex@alex-Studio-1537 ~ $


Salut Mint Community.
