QSystemTrayIcon not working correctly under GNOME 3.14

David.G

Hello,

I've recently started using Qt for my applications and I've noticed that the system tray under the GNOME 3 environment doesn't work. It works correctly under Ubuntu/Unity and possibly KDE, XFCE, etc (haven't completely tested).

I added the code in a repo to those who would like to test under a virtual box or check the code:

   // set up system tray

trayIcon = new QSystemTrayIcon(this);

//grab from qrc
trayIcon->setIcon(QIcon(":/gnu.png"));
trayIcon->show();

Any suggestions? (I'm using Ubuntu 15.04 (desktop) and Ubuntu GNOME 15.04 (laptop) which I pretty much use to program)

Hi,

You should also add which linux distribution you are currently running

Added the distribution(s) to the main post:

(also leaving the note here just in case): I'm using Ubuntu 15.04 (desktop) and Ubuntu GNOME 15.04 (laptop) which I pretty much use to program

15.04 being not yet officially released, can you check with its provided Qt 5 to see if you are experiencing the same thing ?

Hi,
this is a known bug and fixed in Qt 5.5.0 Alpha: https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-31762
