A workaround, for anyone who like me doesn't know how to implement a
patch to their system, is the following:
This might not work on all systems but on my Ubuntu Lucid 10.04 all I
need to do is "killall scim-panel-gtk" and it's automatically restarted
with the tray icon. There's a similar bug in both tomboy and gtg.
Here's the full workaround on my system:
Past the following 4 lines into a file (eg with gedit) and save it as
scim_panel_reload.sh
#! /usr/bin/bash
while (! ps -C notification-area-applet); do echo -n .; done; echo # Wait
for the notification area to load
sleep 10 # Wait another 10 seconds (You may need
to adjust this depending on your system)
killall scim-panel-gtk # Kill scim-panel-gtk. It will be
automatically reloaded
Click: System->Preferences->Startup Applications
Click: Add
Enter the following info:
Name: SCIM PANEL RELOAD
Command: /path/to/scim_panel_reload.sh
Comment: Workaround for Bug #475800
Click: Add
scim-panel-gtk should then be reloaded each time you login.
P.S. I have no idea why the "sleep 10" has to be in there after the
notification-area-applet has loaded, but without it scim-panel-gtk is
still loaded too early for it's icon to appear in the tray.
Hope the patch gets incorporated into the next .deb release.
