Package: blueman
Version: 2.0.8-1
Severity: normal

Hi!

I run awesomewm with KDE.

When I start blueman-applet, an icon briefly flickers in my awesomewm
systray, but then is no longer visible and I don't see any way to get it
to stay visible.

If I edit /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/blueman/plugins/applet/AppIndicator.py
to set self.Applet.Plugins.StatusIcon.props.visible to True at the end
of on_load() then everything works as it should and I see and can
interact with blueman-applet's icon.

It would be great if editing files in /usr wasn't necessary for that,
though :)

Cheers,

Hi Peter,

sounds like there's some issue with the libappindicator-based icon
implementation which disables the GTK-based one. Your edit effectively
avoids the latter.

Did you try blueman 2.1.1-1 yet?

Cheers

I built it on stable and tried it. Same problem.

I am running unstable with blueman 2.1.1-1+b1 and I still have this
behavior -- the icon is NOT shown :(

Regards,

Peter, In 2.1 you have to provide --loglevel debug to get a useful output.

Tom, awesomewm with KDE as well?
