Hi,

is mod_dock supposed to implement the freedesktop system tray spec? I'm asking
because recent versions of both knetworkmanager and nm-applet fail to show up
in the dock for me, which is slightly annoying. Does this work for anyone, are
there workarounds? In ancient days, I could attach missing dock windows by
name, but apparently in this case they don't show up.

ciao,

Hi,

http://code.google.com/p/trayion/

Thanks, that does indeed give me network manager icons in my ion dock.

ciao,

Not sure, but an alternative combo would be wicd-client + trayion. I
find that they work well together.
