Bug Description
using xblstatus.desktop to call xblstatus.py opens the program successfully, however, no icon appears in the notification area. So, if you X out the program to the tray, there is no way to restore the program or kill the process, and since there is no check to inhibit multiple instances, clicking xblstatus.desktop starts another instance of the program (again without an icon) instead of calling xblstatus into focus.
However, If I edit xblstatus/desktop to call the xblstatus.sh bash script i made the icon appears fine. Which is funny because the bash script just calls on xblstatus.py.
running karmic on a Lenovo G530 with everything up to date, using the latest trunk version of xblstatus
I had to gedit xblstatus.desktop to get it to work at all
To recreate:
click xblstatus.desktop
done
The (ugly) fix:
have xblstatus.desktop call on a bash script to call xblstatus.py instead of calling it directly
