Systray does not appear

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Run tint2.
2. Run application that has a systray icon (such as ktorrent or kmix).
3. Notice there's no systray in the tint2 panel.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I expect to see an icon in the systray for the application. Instead, I see 
nothing. In fact, when I mess around with the tint2 configuration file, I 
notice that no systray is ever showing (in other words, it's not just the icons 
not showing up, the systray itself doesn't show up).

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
tint2 version 0.11+svn20110307
Debian
Running OpenBox natively as WM.

Please provide any additional information below.

I've dug into this a bit, but being new to xlib, I'm a bit lost. I've added a 
ton of debug messages to tint.c and compared them with the output of another 
systray app (stalonetray). Using tktray1.3.9 to trigger systray icon insertion, 
I've compared the output of tint2 and stalonetray. One obvious thing that I've 
noticed is that tint2 never seems to receive the _NET_SYSTEM_TRAY_OPCODE 
messages that stalonetray does. The moment I run the make test from tktray 
(which inserts an icon in the tray) I see a flurry of _NET_SYSTEM_TRAY_OPCODE 
messages register in stalonetray. Tint2, on the other hand, doesn't seem to 
register any of them.

I've run both tint2 and stalonetray at the same time and in isolation with 
similar results.

Anybody have any ideas? Or even suggestions into how to better troubleshoot 
this? I have no problem debugging the code myself.

On a side note, the system tray was /definitely/ working a few weeks ago when I 
first installed tint2. Since then, I've done a number of package changes to do 
my best to remove all the superfluous packages of KDE from my system. Is it 
possible there are some libraries that are needed that might be missing?

Running two applications which offer a system tray does not work anyway, as 
there is only one system tray allowed to run. 
I tried your tint2rc, and I have to say, that it works here with openbox. It's 
strange that you're not getting the systemtray to work.
You could try to adapt your tint2rc to the new 'panel_items' config option (see 
here: http://code.google.com/p/tint2/wiki/Configure#Panel), however it should 
be automatically recognized, since you have systray=1 in config file.
Otherwise you could try to start debugging in the file src/systray/systraybar.c 
in the function init_systray() (and than in any function that's called from 
there).
Also the function add_icon (same file) is called each time an icon should be 
added to the systray, so a debugging message there could help too ;)

After all the nonsense of debugging it along side stalonetray, I realized I 
still had a few kde packages installed, which I removed, and everything worked 
fine. My guess is that the kde systray was somehow interfering with tint2. Not 
sure why stalonetray was registering the opcodes, though. And I didn't think 
any kde systray was running... Regardless, tint2 works beautifully now. Great 
app!
