Spark icon not appearing in System Tray

Running Xubuntu 8.10, but having a heck of a time accessing the Contacts window if I’ve accidentally minimized it. An icon for Spark is not showing up in my system tray. If I do minimze the Contacts window, I have to kill Spark from the command line, manually edit .Spark/spark.properties , and relaunch the application.

Any ideas?

Which Version of Spark do you use?

At this time only the latest Version of SVN work correctly with the SystemTray.

Currently running 2.6.0 Beta 2.

This version is too old and doesnt has the new systray code. You can try compiling the latest version, or… i think the new systray should be in the experimental izpack installer (spark-installer.jar) http://www.igniterealtime.org/community/thread/37565

But this is only for a testing.
