    <p>I'm writing a small pyGTK application that displays and updates a notification area icon. The code is as follows:</p> <pre><code>#!/usr/bin/env python2 from __future__ import division import pygtk pygtk.require('2.0') import gtk from time import time from math import floor gtk.gdk.threads_init() import gobject #Parameters MIN_WORK_TIME = 60 * 10 # min work time in seconds class Pomodoro: def __init__(self): self.icon=gtk.status_icon_new_from_file("idle.svg") self.icon.set_tooltip("Idle") self.state = "idle" self.tick_interval=10 #number of seconds between each poll self.icon.connect('activate',self.icon_click) self.icon.set_visible(True) self.start_working_time = 0 def format_time(self,seconds): minutes = floor(seconds / 60) if minutes &gt; 1: return "%d minutes" % minutes else: return "%d minute" % minutes def set_state(self,state): old_state=self.state self.icon.set_from_file(state+".svg") if state == "idle": delta = time() - self.start_working_time if old_state == "ok": self.icon.set_tooltip("Good! Worked for %s." % self.format_time(delta)) elif old_state == "working": self.icon.set_tooltip("Not good: worked for only %s." % self.format_time(delta)) else: if state == "working": self.start_working_time = time() delta = time() - self.start_working_time self.icon.set_tooltip("Working for %s..." % self.format_time(delta)) self.state=state def icon_click(self,dummy): delta = time() - self.start_working_time if self.state == "idle": self.set_state("working") else: self.set_state("idle") def update(self): """This method is called everytime a tick interval occurs""" delta = time() - self.start_working_time if self.state == "idle": pass else: self.icon.set_tooltip("Working for %s..." % self.format_time(delta)) if self.state == "working": if delta &gt; MIN_WORK_TIME: self.set_state("ok") source_id = gobject.timeout_add(self.tick_interval*1000, self.update) def main(self): # All PyGTK applications must have a gtk.main(). Control ends here # and waits for an event to occur (like a key press or mouse event). source_id = gobject.timeout_add(self.tick_interval, self.update) gtk.main() # If the program is run directly or passed as an argument to the python # interpreter then create a Pomodoro instance and show it if __name__ == "__main__": app = Pomodoro() app.main() </code></pre> <p>It works fine when I launch it from the terminal, but the icon isn't displayed when I launch it at the start of my graphical session (I'm using KDE, if that matters).</p> <p>Any idea what could be happening? Is their a problem with my code, or is it a bug in KDE?</p>

    1. COI've tried converting my SVG files to PNG, and while it renders faster, the problem is still there.

    2. COi ran this on gnome 2.22.3 and it worked (after i added some icons from elsewhere as standins) so i'm wondering if your kde setup actually has a xdg systray running?

    3. COIt works on my machine as well. It doesn't work when I configure KDE to launch it on startup. Can you try that on Gnome?

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

SQuiL has stopped working due to an internal error.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
