Bug#1116567:

Show all headers | View raw

Hello Julian,
I am not the Debian package maintainer but the upstream maintainer.
Thank you for reporting.

Can you please try again with adding the `--debug` switch and post the 
full output.

systrayiconplugin.py determine if a graphic environment is running 
(available) or not, it does not expect it.
So I am not sure if the DISPLAY thing is the cause. It is a usual 
situation.

I have not invented this mechanic, because I am just the maintainer in 
3rd generation.
I am open for suggestions how the systray icon could determine if a 
graphical environment is running or not.

At upstream we have several issues open regarding that topic.

Regards,
Christian Buhtz
