[SOLVED] Problems with sys-power/upower-pm-utils-0.9.23-r2

[xtz]

I'm using Xfce with OpenRC (hence - sys-power/upower-pm-utils). After emerging sys-power/upower-pm-utils-0.9.23-r2 a few days ago, my tray icon disappeared and no matter what I do - I cannot get it back. It was okay with the previous version (0.9.23).

xfce4-power-manager.xml looks okay (I changed the value of show-tray-icon from 0 to 1 but still no luck):

Code: Select all

xtz@Xecutor ~ $ cat .config/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml/xfce4-power-manager.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

Any ideas?

Just wondering, but did you happen to also update xfce4-power4-manager about the same time? As, from what I remembered from a older post reguarding the same issue, is that xfce4-power-manager developers decided not to include that applet, in favour for the battery plugin from xfce4-panel instead. Here's the link to that forum post, maybe it'll help you get it sorted out.

ct85711, thanks. That pointed me in the right direction.
It was in fact xfce4-power-manager, but it turns out that since version 1.3.0 I have to include 'battery' in XFCE_PLUGINS. 1.2.0-r2 did not support that.
