Topic: IMPORTANT: tint2 "systray" breakage
I do not like breaking things, but there is going to be a problem for existing Statler tint2 users when the latest tint2 package is included in the Statler repository. I am writing this as a kind of preemptive warning, so hopefully people will be aware of the issue.
Basically, the tint2 config file which shipped with the alpha releases does not contain a `panel_items` variable. Without this variable, the systray will not appear when tint2 is run after the new tint2 package is installed.
The `panel_items` variable should look something like:
panel_items = TSCThe new config file to be shipped with Statler follows, you may or may not want to update your config file after the new package is installed. The new package will be in the Statler repository soon.
Apologies for the breakage.
