The eggtray problem

Read Original

The article critiques the problematic 'eggtrayicon' code, a 2002 implementation of the Freedesktop.org system tray protocol for GTK+. It highlights how this buggy C file is copied into many applications, causing issues, and advocates for using native GTK+ system tray implementations instead. It references patches sent to projects like mail-notification and Audacious.
