Hi all, 
I´m using Linux Lite 6.2 which makes use of (a modified version of) the xfce DE. By default it comes with the xfce-panel. The version of the panel LL uses is 4.16.3-1.
I´m sure you all know that.
Every now and then I notice that some icons are missing from the panel. Those icons should be visible at all times when a certain programme/process is started.
Here´s an example:
I start nixnote2 and the respective nixnote-icon is shown in the panel. That´s alright so far. But suddenly - seemingly out of nowhere - the icon vanishes although the nixnote process is still running.
The same can theoretically happen to any other icon, like the Linux Lite Terminal-icon. :-[
However: when I restart the panel process with "xfce4-panel -r" all icons are there again. Well, although this seems not to be anything major it still can be a bit annyoing to a certain extent.
Curiously enough there are days when all works well, without any hiccups but today I needed to restart the panel already twice... :032:
Has anyone of you encoutered anything similiar to that? And if so, could you fix the issue?
Many thanks for your help in advance and many greetings
Rosika :wave
P.S.:
BTW: there are no log entries indicating that something would not be right. I looked for that with lnav.
