XChat & Wine Sys Tray Icons Disappear

[GoogleCodeExporter]

NOTE: I tested with both Wine v1.1.44 and 2.1. The programs I tried are WordWeb 
and uTorrent (this version: 
http://portableapps.com/apps/internet/utorrent_portable). So I assume the 
problem is with all Wine programs.

What steps will reproduce the problem?

1.Minimise program to system tray
2a.Restart tint2

OR
2b. Enter and exit fullscreen mode on some apps (like ZSNES)

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
-Icon disappears but program is still running

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
-Tint2 v0.11-1 on Arch Linux, Kernel: 2.6.34

Thanks for reading.

Can you try with another panel (like xfce panel or gnome panel) or a standalone 
systemtray (like stalonetray)?

Usually this behaviour is a bug of the program not tint2, because the program 
does not follow the standard, and relies on the fact that there is always the 
same system tray.

Yes, this is a known issue.
Those "tray icon" doesn't support the stop/restart of systray manager.

You can reproduce the problem with lxpanel, xfce-panel... (run the "tray icon" 
and restart the panel).

With tint2 the problem is bigger, because tint2 restart each time Xorg change 
screen configuration.

I can't see another solution than fixing "tray icon" application.
I hope to have some time in August to fixed some of them.
Here is a list of program with this bug :
- wine
- xchat
- xkb
- volwheel

I you know other program with the same bug, add a comment to this issue.

NOTE: My control app is FireFox, which can minimise to tray with the use of an 
addon (xultray).
NOTE: Full-Screen Alternation = Entering and exiting full-screen mode in ZSNES

Stalonetray:
-Full-Screen Alternation: Icons remain
-Restarting Stalonetray: All icons gone, including control app (I don't know if 
it's even possible to 're-attach' to current state of system-tray with 
Stalonetray)

LXPanel:
-Full-Screen Alternation: Icons remain
-Restarting panel: Icons disappear

XFCE4-Panel:
-Full-Screen Alternation: Icons remain
-Restarting panel: Icons disappear

tint2:
-Full-Screen Alternation: Icons disappear
-Restarting panel: Icons disappear

>>tint2 restart each time Xorg change screen configuration
Is it possible to have an option to turn this off? Maybe an option to not 
restart the systray at all?
