ensuring the systray has started

if I start wpa_gui with settings/sessions/autostart is seems to be starting before the systray has had chance to start ?

even with the -t parameter (start in tray) it starts as a window

using session autostart I now run a simple script

if I straight open wpa_gui (with -t) the same (undesired) behaviour happens

however if I sleep first (for 4 seconds chosen arbitrarily) then it starts in the system tray as expected / required

hence my current theory that its getting started before the systray - its hard to tell its a very new machine on a fast ssd and everything just starts almost instantly from login... !

I was thinking of doing something lame like sleeping/polling the output of ps to find if the systray has started, but there is probably (i'm guessing) a better way....

Probably best delay the startup.
There exists this bug report.

Re: ensuring the systray has started

I do wonder if panel, systray shouldn't get priority...
