Timer applet

I've installed the timer applet but there is no display. Just a blank button. It's also flaky in clicking ... no options and the "start timer" only comes up sometimes. I suspect I'm missing an icon package?

Re: Timer applet

This plugin displays a gauge here, no icon. Right click -> properties to set the options. (Xfce 4.8)

I think what you are getting is the "right thing". I get a blank button. Just tried again and no amount of clicking left/right/whatever gives any response at all. No menu. No Icon.

To get rid of this I have to log out and manually edit the config files and delete the sessions. Not good.

I just tried to reinstall xfce4-timer and xfce4-goodies ... did a complete removal and install. No difference.

Also checked the /usr/lib/...xfce4-timer binary using ldd and it appears that all the deps are accounted for.

Any other ideas? I really need a alarm other that 'at' in a terminal

Re: Timer applet

I use the Alarm Clock applet from http://alarm-clock.pseudoberries.com/ and find it works very well.  It's written for Gnome, but works just as well in XFCE.

Re: Timer applet

THanks for that. Just installed it and it seems to be working fine.

Still wondering what the problem with the xfce4 version is
