Starting yesterday, Pidgin starts but there is no notification window in the systray.
I can hear people are connecting/disconnecting though, and the pidgin process is here.
Just, no window.
Tried to start from a new user (ie, root), i get the dialog box to create an account which start as expected ie i have dialog window opening (but still nothing in the systray and if i close /start again then, again, nothing.
Any idea ?

menu/internet/pidgin
Tools/Preferences/Interface/System Tray Icon/Show System Tray Icon: Always/Close
Rt/Click Lxpanel by Volume Control/Add/Remove Panel Items
Verify System Tray is above Volume Control
Check to make sure your don't a second bottom lxpanel stacked on top the first bottom lxpanel hiding the icon.

interestingly when i killed lxpanel to make sure, the pidgin contact list appeared....
but still not going to notification zone
skype is not appearing there either
and, yes, the notification zone is just above Volume control
and when i kill lxpanel then run it from a terminal it says:
tux@slitaz:~$ lxpanel
** (lxpanel:3649): DEBUG: cache file_name = /home/tux/.cache/menus/c2f0ae26c143be40296469144d0bc511
tray: another systray already running
is it expected (that another sytray is already running) ?
I could imagine that the icons end up there

Verify you don't have a second bottom lxpanel covering the notification icons:
Panel Preferences/Geometry/Height lower the number which will lower the lxpanel.

good catch
there is another panel hidden below (and only on lxpanel process)
I suppressed it and rebooted and everything looks back as expected.
interesting that a second panel would appear out of nowhere....
thanks a lot
