Arch Linux

Florian, as far as I understand, it's only a matter of adding a patch and rebuilding Qt4. Could you please do it? Missing skype icon in a system tray is really annoying. Thanks!

I dislike patching because then I'll have to maintain the patch and other distros have to do them same for their packages which results in a lot of unnecessary work for everybody involved. I much prefer bugs being handled and fixed by upstream, but it seems qt4 is dead in that respect.

Also this patch is rather large, the issue affects only skype and there is at least one workaround[1]. So far I'm torn. I'll take a look and see if it applies/builds cleanly.

Well, lib32-sni-qt requires this patch, so the only left workaround is standalone systray application (and 2 system trays - one on panel, another hanging somewhere near is really ugly solution).

Btw, this patch is already applied to extra/qt4, so you can always take rebased patch from there.

Right, I'll have to pull that into the repo and I should probably test the whole thing afterwards. Looks like lib32-sni-qt depends on some lib32-qt4-ubuntu package that is kind of the same as my package + the patch, but maybe not quite. I'll look through all of that, but it's gonna take some time. I'm somewhat busy until Thursday so I'll probably look into it around the week end.

Thank you!

Where's the double vote button? This is pretty much needed.

+1 from me too, if you need anyone to test the patched version just put the adjusted PKGBUILD + patches somewhere I will try it and report here ;)
Quiet annoying the missing taskbar icons. Btw. wine creates a little taskbar window if it cant find a valid taskbar but I guess that is a gtk problem, and should be discussed else where.

Thanks for the offer, but I already got a guy who wants to learn/help (granted mentoring does slow things down a bit) and I said I'll fix the bug this weekend (that is until Sunday not Friday). Please don't post any more +1s (You should likely never post +1s on our tracker). Thank you.

Also a quick note: I don't care about votes on a bug report. Actually I hardly ever look at that field. Feel free to use it anyway, just don't expect much.

Should be fixed with lib32-qt4 4.8.6-2 and lib32-sni-qt 0.2.6-4, please test.

Shouldn't the optional dep of lib32-qt4 be lib32-sni-qt but not sni-qt?
For the record, it works as expected.

Thanks, fixed.

Works for me. Thanks!

I know, it is a bad practice to produce not-technical noise in a technical context, but at the case can not keep silence :)

Florian, sincerely thanks!!
