When I start geany on a Fedora 18 system with a Cinnamon window manager it adds an item to the window manager panel (one for each instance). How do I turn this behaviour off?
I've scoured the preferences menus without any luck.
Thanks Peter
Hi Peter,
That is most likely to be something that your window manager does because of its own configuration, does it do it for other programs?
Or your Geany Fedora packager has configured something that causes it.
But as far as I know Geany does nothing directly to a window manager panel.
Cheers Lex

No, it doesn't. All programs (including geany) get put in a "window list" in the panel but that's different.
The extra geany things are like applets in that they have their own popup menu.

I doubt it. I thought it might be a plugin but couldn't find one in the list that looked likely.
Other programs (e.g. Virtual Machine Manager) do something similar but usually have an option to turn it off.

I've just run geany on another Fedora 18 Cinnamon machine and the behaviour isn't occuring there so it's clearly an optional behaviour. I'll have to keep looking I guess. (It's only mildly annoying -- not a catastrophe, so I can live with it.)
Thanks for your response, Peter

The addons plugin has an option to show a Geany icon in the notification area. Is that possibly turned on?
Best regards.

I had looked there but missed it due to the label "Show status icon in the Notification Area" not registering in my mind as being associated with the panel.
Problem solved. Thanks Peter
