Dropbox icon not showing up after login

[demokritos]

From some tests, dropbox icon does not show up if there is no tray when dropbox starts to run. I think that this is dropbox's bug. But it seems that topicons-plus unnecessarily delays the moveToTop() using GLib.idle_add(). According to the document, GLib.idle_add() repeatedly calls the callback function. Should moveToTop() be called repeatedly?

With the code below, dropbox icon shows up. (I placed this code below the settings assignment and settings.connect()'s)

    if (tray)
        //GLib.idle_add(GLib.PRIORITY_LOW, moveToTop);
        moveToTop();
    else
        //GLib.idle_add(GLib.PRIORITY_LOW, createTray);
        createTray();

Thank you for this report.

First, and as I don't use Dropbox, do you still have the issue?

Regarding the code, it's purpose was to add a delay, but the repeated call are probably unwanted.

I have to investigate this indeed.

I have used the extension with my patch. Today, I rebuilt the latest git version without the patch. This issue seems fixed.

FYI, the patch was actually the following:
