Synergy server autostart issues in Debian 7.1.0

I have a thread in the Debian forums about it if anyone can help me out.

http://forums.debian.net/viewtopic.php? … 95#p512095

I think the issue has something to do with the Synergy server. I've got a script running at the lightdm greeter and the lightdm session so I have synergy at the login screen and right after logging in.

This must be an issue with lightdm or XFCE because I didn't have this issue running SolusOS which uses gdm and Gnome (I think).

To sum up my issue:
When I have Synergy automatically started before logging in with XFCE4 I get a message box saying "System tray is unavailable, quitting"
I have a greeter script and a session script pointed to from /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf. This worked fine in SolusOS but not in Debian 7.1.0 w/ XFCE4.

My script is as follows (same script for greeter and session):

#!/bin/sh

#
# This script runs before logging in
#

# kill any running synergy server, wait, start a new server
/usr/bin/killall -9 synergy
sleep 1
/usr/bin/synergy

exit 0
