nm-applet will work with something like trayer instead of the GNOME panel,
Any hints on how to progress with this?
When I try
trayer & nm-applet
I get
** Message: applet now removed from the notification area ** (nm-applet:2096): DEBUG: old state indicates that this was not a disconnect 0
although you may need to run xmonad under ck-start-session.
As I'm doing only inital trials at the moment, I don't want to exit my session and lose my bazillion windows. Could not running it through ck-launch-session be the cause of the above? From what you said elsewhere ...
I have nm-applet and trayer working fine. I launch trayer and nm-applet from .xinitrc, something like trayer --and-a-bunch-of-options nm-applet --sm-disable > /dev/null 2> /dev/null & xmonad I can kill and relaunch nm-applet as many times as I want without trouble (which I often do when I change display configuration options via xrandr, say for class presentations, etc).
It's part of ConsoleKit, which NetworkManager / nm-applet uses to authenticate the console user as being permitted to control wifi.
I had some trouble with that too. I need to use kdm or gdm as display manager (I used to use wdm, but I could never get the wdm + ck-launch-session combination to work correctly, a problem that has been reported before). Using kdm/gdm, however, these issues can be dealt with; see these threads in the NetworkManager list: http://mail.gnome.org/archives/networkmanager-list/2011-November/msg00083.ht... http://mail.gnome.org/archives/networkmanager-list/2011-November/msg00020.ht... Hope this helps, R.
... it seems that it shouldn't be a problem, because I'm running in a session in which nm-applet was, earlier, happily running on unity-2d-panel, so I'm guessing that the authentication plumbing is in place. Though I did have to kill that panel to stop trayer from complaining with
another systray already running
Is it possible to restart XMonad with ck-launch-session without losing my current window configuration?
Thanks.
