NAME

snixembed - proxy the StatusNotifierItem protocol to the XEmbed System Tray

SYNOPSIS

snixembed [--fork]

DESCRIPTION

The snixembed daemon proxies StatusNotifierItems as XEmbedded System Tray icons.

OPTIONS

--fork
Set up in the foreground, then fork to background process.

This can be used to avoid race conditions with applications that expect a StatusNotifierWatcher to be ready on startup. Start these applications only after snixembed --fork has completed.

BUGS

Not all of the StatusNotifierItem specification is supported. Current support includes: mouse events, context menus, tooltips. There is also limited AppIndicator support.
