Removing networking tray icons
Posted: Fri Mar 15, 2013 8:30 pm
Hey all,
I've just installed the new openSUSE 12.3 with LXDE. One of the problems I'm having is numerous networking tray icons, of which I only seem to need one. I'd like to remove/hide the others (without disabling the interfaces) because I'm on a tiny netbook and every pixel counts.
Here is a screenshot of my panel bar with the tray icons numbered: http://i.imgur.com/efGocWG.png
1: eth0 interface. I'd like the icon gone.
2: wlan0 interface. Seems to have same functionality as 3; I'd like it gone too.
3: NetworkManager Applet 0.9.6.4. The wlan0 tray icon I actually use. This one should stay.
I don't know which program is associated with icons 1 and 2 (they have no about/info as far as I can see). Rightclicking them gives "Repair/Disable", hovering over them gives interface information and leftclicking eth0 does nothing whereas leftclicking wlan0 gives a connectivity bar.
(I've found I could remove icon number 3 by unchecking "Network" in the LXDE Control Center's "Session settings", but this is the one I'd like to keep...)
My question: how can I remove/hide icons 1 & 2 without disabling the interfaces? Which program is associated with them? I've spend the better part of the day trying to find this out, but I just can't find any information. On these forums I couldn't find anything related either.
Thank you very much for any help you can give.
