Description Daniel Secareanu 2005-08-30 20:13:26 UTC

Every time I log into Gnome, in the notification area of the Gnome panel I have
two resolution switcher applets. For me, this has been so for several
distributions now (I clearly remember it in 9.2 and 9.3) but dunno if it was
reproduced...

The idea is that if I don't close one of the two instances of the resolution
switcher applet, the next time I log in I will have three of them in the
notification area...

I am posting a screenshot to show this... and prolly will post another one after
I logout and re-login.

Daniel

Daniel: have you run gnome-session-save lately?

I can reproduce this (also w/ best) by running gnome-session-save.  netapplet
doesn't have this behavior.

Comment 4 Daniel Secareanu 2005-08-30 21:08:57 UTC

I use session save option in the Desktop -> Gnome Control Ceter -> Sessions
(it's activated, that is... automatically save changes to session -> on)

Comment 5 JP Rosevear 2005-08-31 12:41:50 UTC

Robert, can you build a patch similar to the netapplet one that exits if already
running?

The Cheetah is on the case!

Proposed fix.  Only allow the applet to load once.

Say it with me, lalala, ROBERT LOVE IS THE GOLDEN CHEETAH.

Gary, critical fix above.

I also merged this upstream and rolled a new resapplet release, 0.0.7, so in the
future we can drop this patch and ship 0.0.7.

Comment 9 Daniel Secareanu 2005-08-31 20:25:58 UTC

will this be available in beta4?

Comment 10 Gary Ekker 2005-09-01 17:57:52 UTC

0.0.7 was submitted with the fix for RC1.

Comment 11 Daniel Secareanu 2005-09-01 18:06:07 UTC

good :) now check the beagle cause it's doing the same thing :)
In beta 4 i got them both, side by side, two icons from each in the notification
area :P want me to open a new/separate bug for beagle?
