Bug#979706: xfce4-genmon-plugin: genmon-plugin often does not show up on panel

[Klaumi Klingsporn <klaumikli@gmx.de>]

Package: xfce4-genmon-plugin
Version: 4.1.0-1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

as orage is no longer supported by xfce 4.16 I created an instance of genmon-plugin in 
my panel, which points to a script to show a small calender via ncal and my appointments
of the next two days via konsolekalendar while hover the genmon-icon (icon, tool) and which 
opens korganizer when clicking on the icon (iconclick).

But when I restart xfce the defined genmon-icon doesn't appear on the panel. Sometimes there 
is only a vertical white line on its position, sometimes nothing and only sometimes it appears.
When I check with a teask-manager, I can see an instance of genmon-plugin running even when 
it does't appear in the panel. When I terminate this process, it is restarted by the 
xfce-session-management and now it also appears in my panel and works just fine.

I would like to have the genmon-plugin appear in my panel on the first run and think that's the
behaviour to be expected ;-)

Here's the script I run with genmon-plugin:

---snipp ----
#! /bin/sh
# script für Zeitanzeige etc. in xfce4-genmon-plugin
#
echo "<icon>xfcalendar</icon>"
echo "<tool><b>$(date +"%A, %d. %B %Y (KW %V)")</b>\n\n<tt><small>$(ncal -bhM)</small></tt>\n<b><i>Termine heute und morgen:</i></b>\n\n<small>$(konsolekalendar --export-type Short --show-next 1)</small></tool>"
echo "<txtclick>korganizer</txtclick>"
echo "<iconclick>korganizer</iconclick>"
exit 0
---- snipp ----
