Thanks. I have never used the indicator plugin before. I saw in it's
description that it was related to something familiar to the unity
users.  I have never used unity so did not think it was necessary to use
it.

I have installed it now and now I can see the icon I could not find.

Maybe this must be in the documentation: "If you are using XFCE4 on Debian, 
install
the 'indicator' plugin."

Regards
Johann

Doesn't PgAdmin4 fall back to "systray" when "indicators" aren't
available?

Johann,

I run XFCE4 with cairo dock, but I also have a panel at the top with the
indicator plugin and the elephant icon shows up there whenever I start
pgadmin4. The icon works but not scalable, like the other icons and since
my panel size is smaller than default (18 px) the elephant is a bit cropped
from both top and bottom.

I am running XFCE4 with an additional Cairo-dock panel and nowhere can I
find the pgadmin4-elephant in any systray.

Until I can figure this out, I will use a combination of pgadmin3,
datagrip and omnidb-app.

pgadmin4 3.0's desktop mode is running an application in the
background, and accessing it using your web browser. If you don't want
it to use your default browser, right-click on the elephant in the
systray, and configure a different command.

(With 2.x it technically did the same, just that the web browser was
bundled inside the pgadmin4 binary.)

Desktop-mode on Debian

[Johann Spies]

Since the availability of 4.2 on Debian (pgdg-version) I could use
pgadmin4 in the desktop-mode.  Today I have upgraded to 4.3 and now I am
back in the web browser - which I do not want.

Do I have to reconfigure the system every time there is a new Debian
package?
