Broken minimize to tray in linux

[GoogleCodeExporter]

When minimizing to tray with version 2.1.1 the application minimizes, then 
disapear from the taskbar and then won't ever show up again.

Display on the command line when clicking the systray show button :
"TGTKWidgetSet.AppRestore TODO"

The close to tray works great though !

What window manager do you use? It works fine for me on KDE4 and Gnome.

I use Gnome 2.30.2 on Ubuntu 10.04. I will try over kde to see if it's about 
the window manager or any dependency.

Do you use the "official" precompiled binary?

Original comment by j...@cp-lab.com on 2 Sep 2010 at 11:09

That's the result I get from either official precompiled x64 binary, last PPA 
update (https://launchpad.net/~andreas-noteng/+archive/transgui) or svn.

I tried today over fresh kubuntu and ubuntu in virtual machines. It's fine with 
KDE but still the same for Gnome.

Thinking about the precompiled binary made me realize it could be about x64, 
and it is. A small check over a 32bit Ubuntu live cd clears this out.

So in the perspective where the bug does not come from transgui, any idea how 
to trace what is responible ? A pascal library maybe ?

Just confirmed this problem on KDE.  It is not specific to Gnome.  

I have tried both the x64_86 binary (2.1.1) from the site as well as my own 
build.

Here is the debug output:

[WARNING] Out of OEM specific VK codes, changing to unassigned
[WARNING] Out of unassigned VK codes, assigning $FF

(transgui:24864): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_widget_realize: assertion

TGTKWidgetSet.AppRestore TODO

The final "TGTKWidgetSet.AppRestore TODO" is emitted when I try to reopen the 
minimized app.

just a "me-too" I can't pinpoint the exact problem, SOMETIMES I can bring it 
back from the tray, but usually not.

Confirm this bug (i386 official binary, Ubuntu 10.10/Gnome).

I gotta say I disagree that this should be assigned is low-priority.  This bug 
makes the app completely useless when minimized.

If you never use the minimize button on the app, and ONLY double-click on the 
icon to show/hide the app, it will work correctly. its more of an annoyance 
than anything.

I am unable to reproduce this issue in my environment. That's why I have no 
idea why it happens and how to fix it.
I someone can debug this issue and provide a fix, I'll apply it.

Isn't the "TGTKWidgetSet.AppRestore TODO" sufficient to understand the problem? 
 In the Lazarus source this is simply unimplemented.  Unhook the window 
minimize event from default (whatever is generating that AppRestore event 
downstream) and hook to whatever you're using for the icon Show/Hide event?

Is this related?  http://62.166.198.202/view.php?id=1423&nbn=1

Or this more specifically: http://62.166.198.202/view.php?id=15052

And this patch might help?

It works fine on my Ubuntu 8 and 9 boxes. It also reports 
"TGTKWidgetSet.AppRestore TODO", but it works. I have no Ubuntu 10 box yet, and 
I don't want to install it right now...
Maybe later I will take a look on this issue. For now, don't use "Minimize to 
tray" if it doesn't work for you.

I have had this problem since I started using transgui. I am currently using 
ver 2.2 on Ubuntu 10.10. I gave up worrying about the tray feature and just 
unchecked everything under Tools - Options - Interface - Tray icon.

Installing the latest version from this site helped me to solve the problem. 
I'm using 10.04 Ubuntu.

Running 3.1 on Linux Mint 10 64 bit. Minimize to tray and close to tray works 
as intended on my system.

My above comment was with Compiz off. When Compiz is on, Close to tray and then 
show works fine. Min to tray then show again does not work. Seems to be a 
problem with Compiz.

As I said in the other report for this bug. For me, with Compiz off, it works 
fine. With Compiz on, Close to tray works fine. Min to tray works but cannot 
reshow window.

I just verified that this is fixed by Lazarus (LCL) 0.9.30 and FPC 2.4.2.  My 
build has other problems, but minimize and maximize finally work.

Original comment by reardo...@gmail.com on 28 Apr 2011 at 3:19

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Yup, it's fixed with latest FPC/Lazarus.

Same troble. ubuntu 10.4|gnome x64 how can i fix it&

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Me too. Installed transgui-3.1-x86_64-linux.zip, using Ubuntu 10.10 64-bit with 
gnome 2.32. After the icon disappeared I can't find it anymore nor starting 
transgui in a window.

I have this issue too on Linux Mint 11 32bit / Gnome 2.32.1 / 
transgui-3.1-i386-linux. When the application opens it is visible in the 
taskbar and as a system icon. After minimizing the taskbar button disappears. 
When I try to maximize the taskbar button briefly appears and it looks like the 
app is trying to maximize but it does not. The app stays stuck in the system 
tray.
