GTG Notification Area plugin disables itself at every login to the system

Hi, I have sometimes similar problems which disappears after few minutes of playing. It's weird. I assume when you open the about dialog of plugin (there is an "about" button in the dialog where you enable the plugin), there are a message like "Everything necessary to run this plugin is available". There might be an error one.

The second thing to try is to run gtg from gnome-terminal with as "gtg -d".

Do you found something unusual?

To see what's the problem, please paste here the content of ~/.config/gtg/gtg.conf
You should find at the bottom of that file something like this:
...
[plugins]
disabled = ...
enabled = ..., notification_area, ...

If this problem is originated from the bug I'm thinking about, it should go away just by closing GTG manually (Tasks->Quit) before shutting the computer down. Please confirm if this fixes the problem.

- Yes, it gives the same message on the About window.

- I have added the debug output as an attachment

Could you paste also the ~/.config/gtg/gtg.conf file?

Wov as you guessed, gtg and the plugin works when i restart the system.

And here is my .conf flie part:

[plugins]
disabled = tomboy, task_reaper, helloworld, send_email, bugzilla,
export, hamster, import_json, geolocalized_tasks, evolution_sync
enabled = notification_area, rtm_sync

Nice.
This is fixed in GTG trunk, marking as fix committed

Hi there,

I found the same trouble with gtg 0.2.4 on Ubuntu 10.10, Gnome 2.32.0. Getting Things Gnome icon don't stay one the notification area Ubuntu desktop after all restar operating system, the plugin's desactivated all time.

Thanks for your attention.

This pluging seems to work well now. After to have activated this extention, I saw a new button option on the bottom: "Configure plugin" and I have activated the option: "start gtg minimized". Thanks for all team and congratulation for this nice work. But it's not finish, you can improve it with more "functionalities" '-)...

I confirm this problem on Ubuntu 10.10 64bit, Using GTG 0.2.4
And haven't got any fixes till now ..

"Fix committed" means that we have a working solution in our code base. When it turns to "Fix released", the fix will be released.

I hope this fix gets released soon, I experience this annoying bug as well. It is my only major annoyance with Getting Things Gnome.

Ubuntu 11.04 - the bug is still not fixed. :/

Ubuntu 10.04
Gnome 2.30.2
