Fair point Ross. So, you got me here, I have apt::recommend turned off due to the amount of random crap some packages pull along, especially transitively. network-manager for instance installs modem-manager, with breaks all your serial ports, plus ppp (hello, 1999?), plus a bunch of other crap. That's just one package. I'm glad enlightenment is doing the right thing here, my apologies for getting this wrong. ------- Hi Raster, Thanks again for your quick and helpful answers. They are always appreciated.

Apparently I had both a systray gadget and a shelf systray, fixed it. I'm not sure if I've fully gotten the gadget thing, especially as they might be buggy in my E version (or I'm holding it wrong) > what is a gadget systray? systray presents a gadget for gadcon (gadget > controller) to request/position etc. ... ? gadcons can be in shelves - they > can > also be placed on the desktop... you could also have a systray on the desktop > gadcon... ? That was the problem, yes. It's a bit surprising that it let me launch two when clearly that's not supported. > alt+scroll wheel == switch desktops in default bindings. it sounds like you > are > not pressing middle mouse but scrolling the wheel instead. if the button is I don't, but I believe you something is broken on my thinkpad setup in that it causes this.

It works in xfe and cinnamon and the source laptop I copied ~/.e from. I checked that if I move the button to the top/bottom of the window, I can resize from the top/bottom.

So systray in E 23 is broke and won't get fixed, but it'll work in 0.24. xfe/cinnamon: nm-applet, wicd, bluez, google-chrome-beta show up in the status bar E 23: nm-applet, wicd, bluez do not show up in E's systray, but they show up in stalonetray. Interestingly google-chrome does go in E's systray. The part I'm confused about is: you told me years ago that x-embbed is dead due to its design and that's why you stopped supporting it. But now it's years later, and all 3 of nm-applet + wicd + bluez still only go in stalonetray. How can I know if it's because they are still relying on x-embbed, or if it's because of the systray E bug that's apparently been in 0.21, 0.22, and 0.23, that you just alluded to?
