Re: [Rhythmbox-devel] [patch] tray icon rework patch

[James Cotton <peabody124 gmail com>]

I'm seeing some strange behavior with the icon now.  Using the
latest gnome 2.12 libraries.  What happens is that when I click it
to show it always comes up in the upper left corner.  If I move or
resize the window then click it again first the window just blinks but
doesn't minimize.  The next time I click it, the window
minimizes.  Finally when I click it again it opens back in the
upper left corner.

Also if I resize the window then click it again, the window goes to it's "default" size.

p.s. this is from today's CVS

Right...I agree it is kind of weird to have the minimization icon there
too.  I tried to get rid of it using gdk_window_set_decorations, but I
was having trouble making it conditional on whether or not there is a
tray icon.  The function I stole from the new gtkstatusicon.c (that we
use to make the delete_event handling conditional) only seems to work
after some arbitrary point that I can't figure out.  I'm going to nag
Matthias tomorrow I think about this :)

Now as for the X button...the idea is Rhythmbox isn't an application
anymore.  It's an applet with a big transient dialog that appears when
you click on it.  I'm not sure in any case we can dogmatically say "the
X button must quit" as it's not true in many cases; e.g. with multiple
browser windows, closing one doesn't exit them even though technically
they're all one process.

I think if we get rid of the minimization button it should feel more
intuitive.

Maybe get rid of maximize too (this would *definitely* make it look and
feel a lot more like a GtkDialog), and have a special "Full screen"
option for parties and stuff that would automatically turn on
visualization etc.

Ok, committed...hopefully we can work out some details and further
refinements like hiding the minimize button.   It would be nice to have
an un-minimization animation too.
