While knurdling around after replying to Geert Stappers <stapp...@stappers.nl>, I did the following: charles@tsalmoth:~$ ps aux | grep onbo charles 2913 0.0 0.9 545852 36740 ? Sl May12 0:26 /usr/bin/python3 /usr/bin/onboard --not-show-in=GNOME,GNOME-Classic:GNOME --startup-delay=3.0 charles 44066 0.0 0.0 6332 2048 pts/8 S+ 18:58 0:00 grep --colour=auto onbo charles@tsalmoth:~$ I couldn't find that in any of the terminal windows I started onboard from in previous experiments. The low process ID and date suggest that that was the instance started at login. (Also, the command line shown is the same one in the Sessions and Startup applet's Application Autostart tab.) So I killed it. charles@tsalmoth:~$ kill 2913 charles@tsalmoth:~$ ps aux | grep onbo charles 44071 0.0 0.0 6332 2048 pts/8 S+ 18:58 0:00 grep --colour=auto onbo charles@tsalmoth:~$ I then fired it up from a terminal, and got both the keyboard and notification tray icon. The "Hide Onboard" key (upper right corner on the compact layout) now works to hide the keyboard, with the icon remaining. I conjecture that the original instance, having failed to get its icon into the tray, also prevented later instances from doing so. -- Does anybody read signatures any more? https://charlescurley.com https://charlescurley.com/blog/
