Xpra icon changes #1908

totaam · 2018-07-06T11:12:32Z

Issue migrated from trac ticket # 1908

component: client | priority: major | resolution: fixed

2018-07-06 11:12:32: michael created the issue

Icon of Xpra in taskbar (Win7) sometimes changes during use to the symbol of other applications (Outlook, Firefox, ...) - confusing

Xpra 2.3.1 64 Bit Client (2.3.1 revision 19531) + Server (2.3.1-r19533-1)
Win7 (VDI) -> Ubuntu 16.04 (virtual)
independent of Desktop Environment (simple terminator and lxde-desktop, too)
LAN (no limit)
e.g. C:\Program Files\Xpra\Xpra.exe" start --start-child=terminator ssh:user@fqdn:1000 --encoding=png −−pulseaudio=no −−speaker=no −−microphone=no --keyboard-layout=de
Same problem with 0.16 which i used before.
More users have the problem - others use it too rarely.

This sounds like it could be #1707, which would mean that this working as intended.
Are you talking about the taskbar or the systray?
It is meant to allow us to distinguish xpra forwarded windows from local ones. (ie: firefox local vs remote)

changes during use to the symbol of other applications (Outlook, Firefox, ...)
I doubt the icon shows the outlook icon unless you somehow managed to run outlook via xpra.

Same problem with 0.16 which i used before.
0.16 did not have this feature at all. So maybe this is / was a different problem?

Xpra 2.3.1 64 Bit Client (2.3.1 revision 19531)
Make sure you're running 2.3.2, which included a fix for this feature: r19719.

You can also disable it completely with XPRA_DYNAMIC_TRAY_ICON=0.

How odd! The icon in the taskbar should be the one from the window when there is only one window.
I have no idea how we could ever get the icon for outlook or from where!

Can you reproduce this with "-d tray,icon" added to the client command line?
Does the problem go away if you run with XPRA_DYNAMIC_TRAY_ICON=0?

Me, too :-)

Yes - Xpra.log appended.
Yesterday it changed to an empty icon. Today it changed to Notepad++ icon.

Does the problem go away if you run with XPRA_DYNAMIC_TRAY_ICON=0?
I will try today.

Well, the icon part looks OK but there are a number of errors in that log file, some of which give the wrong geometry for the monitors and therefore for the system tray too.
I guess that us using the wrong dimensions for the tray icon could somehow cause MS Windows to trip over itself?

r19924 fixes the AssertionError in _focus_change - likely unrelated and harmless

r19925 fixes the OverflowError: long int too long to convert in GetMonitorInfo (+r19929 fixup)

r19928 improves the debug logging

Please try the latest 2.4 beta build to see if that resolves those issues (only known limitation of this build is the lack of webcam forwarding): [https://xpra.org/beta/windows/].

Try starting the server first from an SSH session, then connect to it with:
xpra_cmd attach ssh://user@host:SSHPORT/
(FYI: this is the recommended way of debugging things, the all-in-one remote start command can hide some details - esp wrt ssh)

Excuse me for asking:

Until now i start my session during start and the debugging parameters are passed throug. If i split start and attach:
Must i activate the debug statements at start of the server process and/or at client attach?
Which logfile is relevant for you? Server (Linux) or client (Windows)?

When in doubt, best to do both. Some will only be relevant to one end, which is fine.
Which logfile is relevant for you? Server (Linux) or client (Windows)?
By default remote-logging=yes so the server log should include the client log output.
But in this case, I strongly suspect that this a client-only problem (where would the server get an outlook icon?!), so the client log would be enough.

I assume you mean the xpra start ssh:host syntax?
This is fixed in r19973, unfortunately it will be a few weeks before I am able to make updated MS Windows beta builds again.

Did setting XPRA_DYNAMIC_TRAY_ICON=0 help?
Can you also reproduce with the clipboard disabled? (ie: --clipboard=no)

Note to self: maybe we should cache the LoadImage result for the default icon rather than hitting the disk every time, and maybe we're also leaking HICON handles.

It seemed that the problem doesn't occur so often with XPRA_DYNAMIC_TRAY_ICON=0 but today i have the issue again. I can surprisingly change the icon:
Open a note from Outlook -> symbol changes to the note symbol or to the Outlook symbol.
Close the note -> symbol changes to an empty one.
Start of any new program -> symbol changes to the started program.
This was now reproducible 20 or more times.
After start from IE the icon changed the last time - the IE icon remains...

Next test will be without clipboard. I assign the issue to you so you have this information. Feel free to reassign it back to me.
