Bug#979460: xfce4-panel: Multiple problems in Status Tray plugin (Xfce 4.16)

[Jens Arnold <jens@jens-arnold.net>]

Package: xfce4-panel
Version: 4.16.0-1
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

   * What led up to the situation?

The situation started after upgrading to Xfce 4.16

   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?
   * What was the outcome of this action?

After upgrading, the Status tray extension (libstatustray.so) exhibits the
following problems:

1. For several programs which noprmally show their status using different icons
(e.g. Roger Router, Quasselclient) it always shows the same (last?) icon
instead of the proper icon depending on status. Roger router normally either
shows a green icon or an orange icon, depending on whether there was an
unanswered call. Now it always shows orange. Likewise, Quasselclient normally
shows a blue Q icon (blue ring with small globe in it). When someone pings you
in IRC, the ring turns red. Now it always shows red.

2. The sizes of several program icons are off, e.g. Quasselclient icon is much
too small.

3. (worst) Some programs cause the Systray to crash repeatedly (e.g. the (non-
opensource) Teamviewer). It can only be started again after closing the program
in question

   * What outcome did you expect instead?

I would expect the Systray to behave properly like it was in Xfce 4.14
