I can't confirm that at the moment, but I noticed the pkgdesc was wrong.

I confirm that bug. It appears as a small rectangle.

same here.

what do you guys mean, an empty rectangle or a full rectangle (with actually usable elements)
because it works fine for me.

Screenshot attached:

The clock works in the bar, but when you click on it, it pops up this little rectangle thingy. I'm guessing there's supposed to be more to orage than just the clock in the bar.

sure there should be, but I can't reproduce it. can you
rm -rf ~/.config/xfce4/orage
and restart it? THIS WILL DELETE ANY EVENT YOU CREATED!

The rectangle was the same as in Dale's screenshot. I don't know how, but orage works fine now.

I removed orage from my xfce bar, removed the config, added it back, and it's still broken.

ok, crazy thought #1:
change your gtk theme (use a theme with a different engine!)
Comment by Dale Blount (dale) - Monday, 05 February 2007, 18:32 GMT
Nope, that's not it. A restart of xfce fixed it however.

Indeed, after you add orage to the xfce panel, you need to restart the panel for it to work correctly (i.e. not show up as a small rectangle). I believe that when I first added orage to the panel and tried to open it, it spit out a warning about not being able to read the rc file or something like that. I would get the exact error but I apparently can't scroll up in my framebuffer :P

I can confirm this(unable to read config file) but still it doesn't open as a small rectangle for me even after removing all orage config files ...
Comment by Tobias Kieslich (tobias) - Monday, 19 February 2007, 19:24 GMT
any new input on this one? I suspect it has to do with some misconfiguration.
Comment by Dale Blount (dale) - Monday, 19 February 2007, 21:03 GMT
I've never seen it again after restarting X that one time, but I wouldn't call it a misconfiguration...
Comment by Tobias Kieslich (tobias) - Monday, 26 February 2007, 21:20 GMT
so can I close it then?
Comment by Dale Blount (dale) - Monday, 26 February 2007, 21:56 GMT
fine by me, it works over here now. just don't be surprised if someone requests to re-open.
Comment by Scott H (stonecrest) - Monday, 26 February 2007, 22:03 GMT
I know that people on other distros have also run into this problem (someone from gentoo complained about it in #xfce). I'll see if I can figure out the steps to reproduce it tonight when I get home from work.
Comment by Scott H (stonecrest) - Tuesday, 27 February 2007, 02:52 GMT
Well I give up. When I first installed it (I had it uninstalled for a while now), it showed up again as a small box. But I'm unable to make it happen through reinstalls, deleting configs, etc. I'm out of ideas.
Comment by Tobias Kieslich (tobias) - Tuesday, 27 February 2007, 04:55 GMT
Scott, thanks for trying though, I also think the problem is more related to upstream rather than to packaging. I would be happy to provide the xfce guys with some hints but like you I have no clue.
