LXPanel 0.4.0 beta was released. Please get it tested!

[PCMan]

Hi all.
LXPanel 0.4.0 was released with some whole new improvement.
The most prominent one was the application menu. It's totally re-worked.

Major Changes:
* Greatly rewrite application menu with our new menu-cache library. Now it's complete and more user-friendly
* Improved "Run" dialog
* Improved OSS volume plugin
* Image showed on application menu button can be changed with GUI.
* Add new temperature monitor plugin by Daniel Kesler
* Size of icons now can automatically be automatically adjusted according to the height of the panel.
* Numerous bug fixes and more...

Please get it tested since lxpanel 0.4 will be released very soon.

For more details, please see its GnomeFiles project page:

Can I be a bit dim?

I have downloaded, configure/make/make install then rebooted, but can't see any difference. What am I missing?

Just FYI, you dont need to reboot when you've installed the new version. Simply restart the panel through whatever means you like (can do "pkill -HUP lxpanel", or find the PID and do "kill -HUP <PID here>"

check out the upgrade points that PCMan posted... other than that you'll only likely notice that it loads faster.

Compiled v. 0.4.0 together with menu-cache and lxmenu-files without any problem. Except one: the battery applet doesn't work. I can enable it, and for as long as the session runs, there is no problem, but for the following reboot/-start, the panel never shows, other than as a white strip.

I'm using it since 11 december, and it has crashed two times. I don't know the trigger to make it crash.

good day
system "ARCH Linux" kernel 2.6.27.10-1

after update lxpanel - couldn`t startup "Menu" applet

if i try to start it from Terminal i can see

[drow@arch ~]$ lxpanel
lxpanel: can't load menu plugin
lxpanel : X error: BadAlloc (insufficient resources for operation)
lxpanel : X error: BadDrawable (invalid Pixmap or Window parameter)

and that applet didn`t show at "add/remove panel items => add applet"
=============
i tried to add applet manually by changing config and added lines

Plugin {
type = menu
Config {
image=/usr/share/lxpanel/images/my-computer.png
system {
}
separator {
}
item {
command=run
}
separator {
}
item {
image=gnome-logout
command=logout
}
}
}

and now i can see another error message

[drow@arch ~]$ lxpanel
parser: unknown token: ''
lxpanel: config file must start from Global section
lxpanel: can't start panel

(lxpanel:3410): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_window_group_remove_window: assertion `GTK_IS_WINDOW (window)' failed
lxpanel: config file must start from Global section
lxpanel: can't start panel

(lxpanel:3410): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_window_group_remove_window: assertion `GTK_IS_WINDOW (window)' failed

lxpanel: can't start panel

(lxpanel:3410): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_window_group_remove_window: assertion `GTK_IS_WINDOW (window)' failed
lxpanel: can't load menu plugin

but panel is starting - so "couldn`t start up panel" - message is lying, but no Menu applet again...

Does somebody knows any solution ?
=================
PS menu-cache-gen and menu-cached are installed too

somehow i made it - after reinstallation from AUR
lxpanel-0.3.99-2-i686

but i am not 100% sure that it 3.99 itself

still cann`t change channel of audio to volu up or down
and still cann`t add apps without *.desktop files....

Running it (3.99 ?) on Arch Linux. Battery monitor is acting goofy. The indicator line jumps way up and says it's 100000% charged.

I am running lxpanel 0.3.99-2 on Arch (this is fixed version with menu applet).

The problem is that when my system boots up, I can't access the menu. I mean, the menu applet is on and the icon is there, but nothing happens when I click it (but it goes darker as if I have clicked it). When I killall lxpanel and start it up again from terminal, everything works fine.

I found a workaround, made a small script which would delay the start of lxpanel for 6 seconds on X boot. For some reason the menu won't load early on X boot. It works with that, but it is not the most elegant solution
