Could the workaround solution in https://github.com/linuxmint/xapp/issues/157 work for Mate too?
If such workaround works reliably, someone should make such setting become default.
Hello,
I just just changed the xapp-sn-watcher startup delay from 0s to 6s as suggested and I'll let you know if the issue occurs again.
Thanks a lot for mentioning this workaround here.
xapp-sn-watcher shouldn't even be enabled for MATE. MATE's normal notification tray takes care functionality it provides.
What is the output from:
gsettings get org.x.apps.statusicon status-notifier-enabled-desktops
And also:
killall xapp-sn-watcher
killall xapp-sn-watcher # (yes twice - the session manager may try to restart it)
G_MESSAGES_DEBUG=all XAPP_DEBUG=SnWatcher /usr/libexec/xapps/sn-watcher/xapp-sn-watcher
gsettings get org.x.apps.statusicon status-notifier-enabled-desktops
['Cinnamon', 'X-Cinnamon']
I disabled xapp-sn-watcher at startup let me reboot several times and confirm it solved the issue.
I just got the issue again:
As root:
killall xapp-sn-watcher
xapp-sn-watcher: no process found
So the issue on mate is not related to xapp-sn-watcher :(
That's ok -
When they're duplicated like that, can you run:
ps -A | grep xapp
I'm guessing it's really only a single instance of the applet showing duplicate icons, but I want to be sure.
As root user:
ps -A | grep xapp

I'm guessing it's really only a single instance of the applet showing duplicate icons, but I want to be sure.
When the icons get duplicated, it is usually the legacy "Notification Area" plus "XApp Status Applet" both showing those icons.
Hello, I only notice this bug with the "XApp Status Applet", the "Notification Area" never duplicates icons as far as I see. Thanks for looking at my bug report.
Expected behaviour
Only one instance of the XApp Status applet should be displayed:![Screenshot at 2022-08-29 09-52-02](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/10560975/187151912-d4a160e5-1edd-4c95-8048-c4bb521b685c.png)
Actual behaviour
After starting a new session the XApp Status applet is randomly duplicated
