Your package depends or build-depends on gconf, but gconf will be
removed from Debian soon.

gconf's last release was about 5 years ago. It has been replaced by
gsettings (provided in Debian by source glib2.0 )

I'm reopening this bug because alltray's gconf handling is wrong. It
tries to use gconf to look up the GNOME theme, but the GNOME theme is
set in gsettings.

The previous fix was also incomplete. You need to patch src/main.c to
not "exit 0" when run in metacity or compiz when built without gconf.

Thanks,
Jeremy Bicha

alltray works on openbox on Buster, as of June 2019.

The original issue was solved ("depends on gconf"). The severity
serious is inappropriate and should be lowered, even if this report
stays open for the unrelated, potential issues mentioned in message
#28 (gnome theme, exit code).

Thanks

Control: tags -1 + patch

Right.

Agreed as well.

Attached is hopefully a proper fix, tested on MATE with the native
window manager (marco) and metacity configured to use a "metacity"
theme type.  I couldn't make it work under gnome-shell/mutter; I guess
the program doesn't support its tray anyway.

We believe that the bug you reported is fixed in the latest version of
alltray, which is due to be installed in the Debian FTP archive.

A summary of the changes between this version and the previous one is
attached.

Thank you for reporting the bug, which will now be closed.  If you
