alltray with Gnome 3

[szilagyic]

Hello:

It seems that alltray is not too happy with Gnome 3 Fallback Mode. I've been trying to find a combination of alltray that works with Fedora 17 / Gnome 3 Fallback Mode, and so far have come up empty.

If I try to run "alltray application" without any parameters, I get:

Gtk-Message: Failed to load module "pk-gtk-module"
Gtk-Message: Failed to load module "pk-gtk-module"
**
ERROR:gnome_theme.c:207:parse_theme: assertion failed: (content)
Aborted (core dumped)

What is strange is that the application is running, but there is no tray icon.

However, I can use "alltray -x application" (with the no border option) and the application will start and dock properly with an icon, however without a window border it's a little difficult to see it.

It seems to be with the theme I'm using (clearlooks-phenix), even though I've tried other themes and get the same result, but I don't know what about the theme it doesn't like. Does anybody have similar experience with this or know of any workaround???

Thanks in advance!

As a temporary workaround, I found "kdocker" and installed with the Fedora 15 rpm since there is no Fedora 17 rpm for it. Then I used the following to dock Sunbird:

kdocker -n "calendar" -y -l sunbird

I would still prefer to get alltray working but this gets by for now.
