Comment 5 for bug 497877

I have tried the patch but it has a lot of problems. First, it is not able to put an icon into the tray. I get a "?" icon on one machine and no icon at all on another. Then it produces a lot of messages in the terminal from where I started "hp-systray" for testing. And if I quit via the "Quit" entry in the menu I get a segfault.

I use GNOME as the desktop, perhaps it works only on KDE desktops.

See all terminal output below.
