Did you really pick the right file, i.e. the one with the „.last“ file extension? I don't see any indication of a crash here. If you're sure, can you also post the glass.log, please?

[sandipkc7]

I am not sure which caused cinnamon to crash, but it crash during I played with this applet. I have not installed applets other than default that came with mint 18.1. I tried to remove spaces between "collapse tray icon" and other icons. Here is video of cinnamon crashing 2 times https://youtu.be/--5EUdCJc5M

And here is .last log file

[Feuerfuchs]

That was helpful, but now I'm very confused. ^^ Not because you're doing anything wrong, that's not the case, but the error occurs in a part of my applet that I ported directly from upstream, i.e. from Cinnamon. Does the default systray crash as well?

[sandipkc7]

I am not sure what default systray means, I migrated from windows to linux few months ago. And after trying several distro mint was easier to understand. I did clean install of mint 18.1 yesterday and it never crashed till I tried applets.

[Feuerfuchs]

I just noticed something in your video: When you remove my applet, the tray icons re-appear. That can only happen if you use two system trays at once, which results in unstable behavior. Can you please remove the default systray from your applet and then try again if Cinnamon crashes? By "default systray", I mean the System Tray applet Cinnamon provides. It's in the applet list with a lock icon next to it.

[sandipkc7]

After removing default systray, it does not crash and blank spaces also don't appear in panel. But collapsing does not work either.

[Feuerfuchs]

Did you select the applications you want to hide in the applet's context menu? I.e. right click on the arrow and in "Active applications" you'll see all programs that are currently running, and likewise in "Inactive applications" there are known programs listed that are currently not active. Just uncheck the ones in both categories you want to hide.

[sandipkc7]

Sorry I was not aware about the selecting applications part because it kept crashing and it couldnot think anything other.

1. I disabled systray and enabled collapsible systray, selected apps for inactive and it worked. But distance between icons appears more than its default distance.
2. After I selected some apps to inactive in collapsible systray and removed collapsible systray and enabled systray the apps which were previously selected inactive were not there in systray.

Sorry I didnot know the part that, either systray or collapsible systray only one of them should be installed to avoid crashing. I will use this applet actively for few days and report if found any bugs. Thank you.

[Feuerfuchs]

No need to apologize, especially about the latter. After all, how are you supposed to know you can't use two system trays without prior knowledge? About 1: There's an applet setting (context menu -> Configure) called "Padding of tray icons" that allows you to define the spacing between icons. If you set it to 0, it looks like the default. About 2: Cinnamon discards all settings for an applet if you remove it. That's the intended behavior and is the same for all applets.
