Bug #317
Tray icon missing after restarting xfce4-panel
100%
Description
Audacious is playing music, status icon is enabled, now I'm restarting xfce4 pannel:
dbus-send --session --dest=org.xfce.Panel /org/xfce/Panel org.xfce.Panel.Terminate boolean:'true'
Audacious is still playing music, but there is no tray icon.
This bug exists in version 3.4 but there is no such one in bugtracker.

Come on, I don't know what certain app uses to display tray icon :P Please look at my attachment. I have there thunderbird, xfce's file copying status icon, psi, liferea (rss reader for xfce) and I know also qbittorrent and konversation don't have such problems. Audacious is the only app which icon disappears.

Are you talking about the "Notification Area" or the "Window Buttons" item in the Xfce panel?
If is is the latter, check its settings. Maybe "Hidden" is enabled for Audacious.

Wow, I didn't even know there is such feature in xfce! ;)
But no, audacious is not ticked to be hidden.

You haven't answered my question, so
1. Do you mean the icon in the Notification area (with enabled StatusIcon plugin) or simply the tabbar entry?
2. Have you tried to reproduce this with a clean user profile?

Finally! I was able to reproduce this bug with a clean profile! :)

I mean tray/notification icon enabled by statusicon.so

Yes, here's the way you should be able to do it:
Enable in general plugins configuration both statusicon and global hotkeys (hotkey.so). Restart audacious. Now you can restart xfce panel with provided dbus command (or killall xfce4-panel && xfce4-panel but dbus is more elegant). The status icon is missing.

xfce4-panel -r is even more elegant. ;)
Anyway, I am able to reproduce this with enabled hotkey plugin.

Glad to hear that :) Fixing this issue should also improve user's experience in other DE's when panel crashes or it's configuration is changed.
I didn't know -r argument. Well, I was wondering if there is any proper way of killing a generic graphical application like audacious from command line. The only thing I found was dbus-send --session --dest=org.atheme.audacious /org/atheme/audacious org.atheme.audacious.Quit but it's not very convenient.

pkill audacious, or audtool shutdown.

Thanks for that information. You should have stated from the start that you had enabled the hotkeys plugin.

The first method is wrong because it doesn't save application's configuration, and the second works only with audacious. But I guess it's not a guestion to be asked here.

I would if I knew that hotkeys could be related to status icon. Seriously - would you come up on that? ;p
Thanks! ;)
