SuSEwatcher and SuSEplugger aren't captured in the GNOME panel
Last modified: 2006-01-11 16:28:15 UTC
SuSEwatcher and SuSEplugger aren't captured in the GNOME panel at login or when launched using the menu icon. They just appear as two small application windows in the upper-left corner of the desktop.
I have seen this same behavior as well. It existed in 9.3 as well. It is a seemingly random, but very annoying problem.
I've seen it as well... very often (I think it was reported in another bug <#75328> as well... that these two apps don't finish their routine). I don't even find the applications in 10.0 beta3, they're not in the panel, nowhere to be found...
This is happening to enough people that I am bumping up the severity.
suseplugger is not longer used by default (gnome-volume-manager instead). With the removal of patch for 104161, I'm no longer seeing this issue. Please retest with beta 4.
I will be happy to test with beta 4, however I cam confused by comment #4 because suseplugger does far more than just volume. So are you saying that suse plugger has been completely replaced by gnome-volume-manager? That doesn't make sense?
Volume in the sense of removable media. It basically handles plug and play.
This is still happening in beta 4. I logged out and back in again and the susewatcher is now outside of the panel.
There is a problem with suse watcher if you log out and in and it doesn't exit. Does it exit for you if you log out?
> Does it exit for you if you log out? What would be the best way to tell? I look in top once I log out, but I don't see susewatcher
ps ax | grep suse

Also other kde applications which minimze to the notification-applet refuse this randomly (e.g. amarok) and are minimizing to a small window instead. Sometimes it works, sometimes it won't. Seems to be a notification-applet problem.
Well, I saw this behaviour in suse 9.3 and in some earlier betas, but I haven't been able to duplicate recently. I've just tried amarok with no issue. I also check and susewatcher is logging out for me when the gnome session ends.
(In reply to comment #10) > ps ax | grep suse The only thing that I get is "19286 tty2 S+ 0:00 grep suse"
You can still replicate Joe?
I managed to replicate by logging out and in quickly, but not just by logging in.
Sven, does this concur with the behaviour you've seen at all?
Moving to normal because of the method of replication - appears to be duplicatable only if you log out and back in within about 3 seconds.
(In reply to comment #14) > You can still replicate Joe? Only if I do the same as you and logout and back in really fast. So I agree that this is pretty minor now.

Neither is being used in GNOME anymore.
