Re: nm-applet not displaying icon in systray

You need to start/stop services as root, ie use sudo.

Re: nm-applet not displaying icon in systray

@Damo

I pointed out ~/.gtkrc-2.0 earlier wink

Yes, but Head_on_a_stick said to use 'grep' on the file. He gets full credit. You only get 1/2 creidt.

nm-device-wireless appears in Faenza, and probably other themes. Why not try changing the icon name in the .desktop file to a wireless icon you do have?

I'm going to try that. BTW, in looking at /usr/share/icons on BL and Ubuntu, it looks like the 2 distros have their icons organized differently and probably access them differently.

Thanks for the tip about yad. I have it installed, but will have to read a tutorial on how to use it.

I tried using an icon that exists, but it did not work.

^^Sod you then.

BTW no need to learn how to program yad, just run 'yad-icon-browser'.
