Hi Tim,

I did some tests a few minutes ago.

I launched Amarok2 (2.3.0) over an "ssh -X dist-pc" connection to 
another computer on my local network (note that ~/ hasn't the same 
content compared to localhost's one).
The distant Amarok2 instance showed a system tray icon, not the good one 
(it contains a question mark, see attachment: the icon on the right), 
but it responded ok to both right & left clicks, etc.

I'm curious: I did the same over an "ssh -X localhost" (my amarok2 is 
2.3.1), the problem is still the same: no icon.

I'm curious again: tested Amarok2 for another user (say "user2") over 
"ssh -X user2@localhost": BINGO! The 
"amarok2-systray-question-mark-icon" appeared!
So my computer, at least, can display a functional systray icon for Amarok2!

I'm more curious: logged into X using user2 account (deleted 
/home/user2/.[^.]* before each X login in order to run from scratch)
  - systray icon present under gnome
  - systray icon NOT present under Trinity


All of these tests show to me that systray icon:
  - doesn't work for my usual account at all under Trinity nor through 
"ssh -X",
  - works for new accounts under Trinity only through "ssh -X",
Weird!

I get more confused now as I initially thought that my ~/.trinity was 
faulty.

Thanks for reading all of this!
Nicolas


PS: Of course this isn't a big issue, but I used to play a lot with 
Amarok systray icon.
