Items not displayed on notification area

Hi,

I am running Debian Stretch with Xfce and experiencing a minor, but frustrating, issue.

I used to see the Dropbox icon as well as another app I use regularly in the notification area, but longer, it only displays the network icon. Yes I have have ticked the checkbox in Dropbox. When I try start Dropbox from the command line it says it is already running.

If I right click the notification area and view properties I see a list of "known applications", but don't see the applications I am interested in.

Anybody have any ideas? I am willing to do a reinstall if I have to, it's that annoying.

Thanks

Thanks, that solved half the problem, the other half I suppose I can live without.

As I understand it the list of known applications is created by adding applications as they use notifications. See https://simon.shimmerproject.org/2016/1 … -settings/
