Dear all, I have at last come back to this bug and solved the problem to my satisfaction, though I don't know whether this will help Lionel or Shannon. Xfce4 very confusingly has multiple different notification applets: * Notification Area: This shows (for me) the keyboard layout (IBus preferences), the Orage calender icon and the Notes icon. * Status Notifier Plugin: This shows the SafeEyes icon and the bluetooth icon. * StatusNotifier Plugin (note the lack of a space in the name): This also shows the SafeEyes icon and the bluetooth icon, only a little larger. Why there should be two different panel applets showing different icons I have no idea; this seems to be a very broken design to me. But at least I can now see all my icons! Best wishes, Julian
