Details

After Upgrade to Version 4.6 of the Xfce DE, the panel shows strange behaviors.
If the 'Notification Area' (NA) was added to the panel while the session was left, at Desktop restart
the panel loses connection to the NA (says the popup message). Sometimes that means, that one can't see
the area even though it seems to run (you can't add it to the panel anymore), sometimes it shows the
NA's frame, but running programs (in my case i.e. pidgin and xfce4-power-manager) are not included
until the NA is restarted manually. Randomly I receive error messages that there is already a panel
running on screen 0:.

These errors don't add up for me. Also Arch Linux is the only distro that I use, which shows this weird
behavior with Xfce 4.6.


* I've installed the recent version of xfce-goodies from extra and all it's dependencies.
* The ~/.config/xfce4/ and ~/.config/xfce4-session/ folders have been deleted recursively from virtual
console after Upgrade from 4.2 to 4.6 while I was not logged in on vc/7.
This task depends upon

Slightly offtopic, but I just wanted to say "thanks". :-)

Kudos for checking this! I wish everyone did checks like this to make sure that they aren't reporting an already known upstream bug.

What's the status on this one? Notification area is XFCE slang for systray I reckon. That works and did work for me
