After more than a year, I did a system update of an Arch Linux
installation. Since that update, stalonetray starts popping out of
`FvwmButtons` upon start of X. You can find the original configuration,
which worked until the update, in my GitHub repo [hiwiwi][1].
What happens now: While starting X, I see stalonetray swallowed in
`FvwmButtons`. Stalonetray has three icons in it. Then, after a fraction
of a second, stalonetray pops out. And it pops out despite there being
no change to the icons.
*Could this be due to a change in Fvwm2 or stalonetray over the past
year?*
I have tried cleaning up and modifying `.stalonetrayrc`, to no avail:
background "gray35"
geometry 2x2 # seems that resizing later causes icons to disappear
icon_size 48
max_geometry 2x2
kludges fix_window_pos,force_icons_size,use_icons_hints
no_shrink true
skip_taskbar true
sticky true
window_type normal
