Applications using system tray are now displayed as regular icons instead of tray icons.
Examples I spotted are 2 Qt applications: SimpleScreenRecorder (https://www.maartenbaert.be/simplescreenrecorder/) and Jamulus Server (https://jamulus.io/) 'jamulus -s' that both used SystemTray successfully in the previous Xfce4 version.
They both use the Qt class ```QSystemTrayIcon``` which doesn't seem to work in the new version of Xfce4.
I tried to search for a "SystemTray plugin" (```$ pkg search xfce | grep -i tray```) but no such thing seems to exist.
What is going on with SystemTray in ```4.16.0```?https://gitlab.xfce.org/xfce/xfce4-panel/-/issues/509xfce panel blocks viewing the apps fullscreen and creates a space2021-07-12T16:54:12Zpofdzmxfce panel blocks viewing the apps fullscreen and creates a space![image](/uploads/10198fdab15ce66f26813b2a986bd53a/image.png)

## Description
If libreoffice has "Always on top" toggled you can't pull the panel up when hovering over where it should be like you would normally. I have only noticed this with libreoffice, and only if it has always on top on, and with either "always" or "intelligent" panel hiding.

## Description
When using multiple monitors, when I have a fullscreen window like a video on one and a document on the other, when the fullscreen window loses focus the panel starts to cover it. This doesn't just happen with videos in fullscreen it happens watching youtube with iceweasel, chrome, and all fullscreen games.
I recently switched to Xfce from openbox where this bug didn't occur. Also on a side note there is also some weird behavior in full screen apps with the alt tab menu too. Sometimes fullscreen apps steal focus and I can't alt tab out of them.

## Description
I'm using XFCE 4.10 on 64bit openSUSE 13.1.
Launchers fail to redirect errors properly. For example, this command, run from a console, produces no errors in the console itself, or in `~/.xsession-errors-:0`
`gnomesu krusader 2>/dev/null`
That same command, ran from a launcher, produces these errors in ~/.xsession-errors-:0
```

Qt: Session management error: Authentication Rejected, reason : None of the authentication protocols specified are supported and host-based authentication failed

Bus::open: Can not get ibus-daemon's address.
IBusInputContext::createInputContext: no connection to ibus-daemon
```
It also tries to open `~/2>/dev/null` as a directory path.
Ditto for kate. When opened from a launcher, this command opens file1, file2, and null (as a new, empty file). It only opens the 2 files when opened from a console.
`kate file1 file2 2>/dev/null`

I have not investigated to ascertain if the above patch is sensible or if there is something in xfce4-dev-tools that should be changed (or indeed on the Arch Linux AUR side).

In my particular case, Mailwatch complains until it can connect to the mail server, because the "server" is another application (Protonmail Bridge) that takes a while to start. I'd rather delay the module's startup than pollute Mailwatch's log with spurious alerts.
I see /usr/share/xfce4/panel/plugins/mailwatch.desktop, but there is no way to invoke bash with a sleep command in it, because mailwatch is a library file, not a command.

Up until 4.18, that worked fine, exactly as I wanted. The oldest window was at the bottom, making it easy to select. I rely on this to find my most commonly used browser windows, new windows tend to be transient while the ones I use the most stick around and end up at the bottom of the list.
When I upgraded to 4.18 in January, the oldest window moved to the top of the list, i.e. the sort order was reversed. An annoying change, but I got used to it quickly enough.
Today, after upgrading to 4.18.2, the oldest window moved back to the bottom of the list. OK, fine, I can get used to that again (in fact, I prefer it - although, really, there ought to be an option for Ascending vs Descending sort for the timestamp. And probably for the title too).
So far, so good.
The problem is that any new windows are placed below the oldest window - so the more new windows I open, the harder it is to find that oldest window. It may as well be random. It's certainly not ordered by timestamp.
This is probably a leftover from when the list was sorted with oldest at the top - it makes sense to add new windows to the bottom in that case. When sorted with oldest at the bottom, though, new windows should be added to the top.https://gitlab.xfce.org/xfce/xfce4-panel/-/issues/491Excessive disk usage2023-07-03T08:19:56ZlindevelExcessive disk usageI added columns for reading and writing from the disk to htop and was surprised, their value for xfce4-panel is very large(3,6 GB read, 1,4 GB write), this is only 9 hours of uptime, and 6-8 hours of this time fell on the night, when I w...I added columns for reading and writing from the disk to htop and was surprised, their value for xfce4-panel is very large(3,6 GB read, 1,4 GB write), this is only 9 hours of uptime, and 6-8 hours of this time fell on the night, when I was asleep and the computer was completely idle

Looking at btop or htop, the genmon plugins seem to be using about 31 MB of RAM each. This is irrespective of the script they have, I even made a new panel and added a brand new one and it still used 31MB of RAM.
Some of the other plugins are also using a lot of RAM. I've included a screenshot of btop.
I'm on Arch Linux with Xfce4-4.18, with latest arch packages for everything
![btop](https://imgur.com/a/S1CnaYC)
I had a look at one of the genmon plugins with pmap, and there was a lot of memory being used up by things marked "anon". I'm not knowledgeable on this at all so I'm not sure if that's of note. If there is any more information I can provide which would be helpful let me know.
