applet icon wont appear on startup

[hyfanious]

hi
I use "Startup Application" to call a file (freedom.jar)
this application has an applet icon
it was appearing before correctly
but now the main program appear but applet icon wont appear anymore
and if I run program manually (after starting up) it will work correctly.
what am I supposed to do?
tnx.

This is a bit strange; but ok let's try at least something.

Press Crtl+Alt+t this opens a terminal;

type:" unity --reset " and press enter

Now hopefully this will solve your problem, but I MUST ADD that it is not shure it'll fix it.

I use Lucid
and as I know It doesn't use Unity! am I wrong?
beside that I set up Lucid and this program in several other pcs
all of them encounter with this problem after a while
sounds fishy
why it happens after a while??!!

You can try adding a delay before it starts. Create a programname.sh file somewhere and in it enter:

sleep 3 && program
where you replace program with whatever you added to the startup files. Then change the file's permissions to make it executable (right-click on it and set it from there) and add that file to the startup applications.

It may be possible to add "sleep 3 && program" to the startup directly but I'm not sure about it.

Also if it doesn't work try some more delay than 3 seconds before giving up. :)

perhaps if you open it with xdg-open? It's the last possibly helpful thing I can come up with lol.

I know nothing about this "xdg-open"
What should I do with this?

You point it to the file you want opened. ie:


xdg-open /path/to/file/you/want/opened

and it opens the file with the deafult application for that filetype.
